Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
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...
Modelica is an open source (free) software language for modelling complex systems. Having never used it before, I thought I would download a development...
Low voltage (LV) switchrooms are common across all industries and one of the more common spatial requirements which need to be designed into a project...
Lead acid batteries are cost effect and reliable, making them suitable for many applications.This note examines topics of interest associated with the...
The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.
For unbalance conditions the calculation of fault currents is more complex. One method of dealing with this is symmetrical components. Using symmetrical...
The IEC publishes a series of documents and rules governing the preparation of documents, drawings and the referencing of equipment. Depending on country...
This article gives an introduction to IEEE 485 method for the selection and calculation of battery capacity.
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.
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
