Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
Often document control is dictated by project requirements, for example a particular organisation may have an existing numbering system. Existing company...
A single phase system is perhaps the most common type of system most people are familiar with. This is what people have in their homes and what appliances...
IEC 61439 'Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies', specifies standard arrangements of switchboard (call forms of internal separation). The...
The image (reproduced from IEC 60909) shows a typical fault in an ac system. From the illustration it can seen that there is an initial dc component ...
Collection of links to various places with useful motor information. I’ll try and return to the page every now and again to update it with any motor notes...
ABB has produced a range of technical guides that offer concise explanations of the major technologies and technical issues in low voltage AC drives. ...
It's been a busy few months on different projects or busy couple of decades depending on how I look at it. I can say that on the odd (frequent) occasion...
In the previous note we looked at the approach taken by the standard to the sizing of cables and illustrated this with an example. We then looked at one...
Modelica is an open source (free) software language for modelling complex systems. Having never used it before, I thought I would download a development...
