Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
The correct sizing of current transformers is required to ensure satisfactory operation of measuring instruments and protection relays. Several methods...
This is the second post in a series of two on periodic electrical inspections. In the first post, I discussed how often inspections should be carried out...
The fundamental component of any analogue computer is the operational amplifier, or op amp. An operational amplifier (often called an op-amp,) is a high...
I was having a conversation the other day about voltage levels. While everyone was in agreement that low voltage was 1000 V and less, there was more confusion...
The inventor of the first visible light-emitting diode makes history again this year as it begins to show customers a 40-watt replacement GE Energy Smart...
This article gives an introduction to IEEE 485 method for the selection and calculation of battery capacity.
This is the first of two posts on the resistance of conductors. In the next post I will look at the ac resistance, including skin effect and we deal with...
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...
This post is quick introduction and overview to different railway electrification voltages used in answer to a question sent in via email. While there...
The calculation of current in a three phase system has been brought up on our site feedback and is a discussion I seem to get involved in every now and...
