Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
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.
Electric motors are one of the most widely used items of electrical equipment. Improving motor efficiency benefits include, reduced power demand, lower...
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...
Often document control is dictated by project requirements, for example a particular organisation may have an existing numbering system. Existing company...
Induction motors are frequently used in both industrial and domestic applications. Within the induction motor, an electrical current in the rotor is induced...
Steel ladders, trays and baskets form the backbone of cable containment systems. Often these items need some form of surface treatment to prevent corrosion...
The mobile phone was born in 1973. They were the size of a brick and weighed a couple of kg, making them difficult to fit into your pocket. At a few thousand...
I have been thinking recently that there appears to be less professional integrity around than when I first started my career in electrical engineering...
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
