Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Bored at work and would rather be playing trump card game with you son. The next best thing (or not) maybe the online cable trump card game from AEI Cables...
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...
While there are a vast array of cable insulation materials, these are often divided into two general types; Thermoplastic or Thermosetting. For example...
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are typically more efficient when connected in parallel with a main power gird. During periods when the PV system generates energy...
Problems on achieving maximum voltage drop within an installation come up often. Depending where you live, local regulations will have different limits...
Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
In three phase systems, the use of transformers with three windings (or legs) per side is common. These three windings are often connected in delta or...
Our cable sizing tool is one of the more popular tools on the site. The tool enables cables to be sized in compliance with BS 7671 (the IEE Wiring Regulations...
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...
