Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
The other day I came across an article in Technology Review on the development of a smart transformer. A professor at North Carolina State University is...
If you want to check a circuit is dead (not live), you should always use the three point method. First check a known live circuit, then check the dead...
Capacitors have numerous applications in electrical and electronic applications. This note examines the use of capacitors to store electrical energy....
A battery consists of one or more cells, each of which use stored chemical energy to produce electrical energy, There are many types of cells and these...
Induction motors are frequently used in both industrial and domestic applications. Within the induction motor, an electrical current in the rotor is induced...
In an earlier note on the site [Photovoltaic (PV) - Electrical Calculations], the theory of solar (PV) cell calculations was introduced. In particular...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...

Electrical engineering has a multitude of laws and theorems. It is fair to say the Ohm's Law is one of the more widely known; it not the most known. Developed...
Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
