A fundamental concept behind the operation of alternating current systems is that voltage and current waveforms will be sinusoidal – a Sine Wave. This...

Working in the vicinity of electrical equipment poses an hazard. In addition to electric shock hazard, fault currents passing through air causes Arc Flash...

Everything physical in electrical engineering from insulations to conductors revolves around materials. Here we are listing common materials along with...

Alternating current (a.c.) is the backbone of modern electrical power distribution. In this article I’ll be pulling some of the more important concepts...

We have had the Wiki with us for a long time now, but at last I have decided to say bye bye – more details on why below.

Modelica is an open source (free) software language for modelling complex systems. Having never used it before, I thought I would download a development...

Problems on achieving maximum voltage drop within an installation come up often. Depending where you live, local regulations will have different limits...

Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...

The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.

Over the past year or so I've been involved in on going discussions related to referring fault levels from the secondary of a transformer to the primary...
