Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
A load flow study is the analysis of an electrical network carried out by an electrical engineer. The purpose is to understand how power flows around...
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.
Capacitors are widely used in electrical engineering for functions such as energy storage, power factor correction, voltage compensation and many others...
In electrical engineering, Network Theory is the study of how to solve circuit problems. By analyzing circuits, the engineer looks to determine the various...
Depending where in the world you work, you are likely following one of two standards International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) National...
The windings of many medium and small sized transformers are protected by restricted earth fault (REF) systems. The illustration shows the principal of...
When current flows within a wire, a magnetic field is created. The potion of this magnetic field perpendicular to the wire is called the magnetic flux...
Photovoltaic (PV) cells (sometimes called solar cells) convert solar energy into electrical energy. Every year more and more PV systems are installed...
The IET site has a video of a visit showing of a high tech meeting room developed at Napier University in Edinburgh. It a good demonstration of innovative...
The term 'N+1' relates to redundancy and simply means that if you required 'N' items of equipment for something to work, you would have one additional...
