Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Resistors are electronic components that oppose the flow of current. Manufactured in various types and ranges they have a wide application to electronics...
Motor starting and its associated problems are well-known to many people who have worked on large industrial processes. However, these things are, of course...
The standard aims to consolidate AC and traction voltages within the industry and defines the following bands: band 1 - A.C. systems 100 V to 1...
Modelica is an open source (free) software language for modelling complex systems. Having never used it before, I thought I would download a development...
Reading is a bit of a hobby of mine and I"ve done a few off-topic posts in the past on this. Rather than continue doing the occasional post I thought ...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
Gauss's Electrical law defines the relation between charge ("Positive" & "Negative") and electric field. The law was initially formulated by Carl Friedrich...
Per unit fault calculations is a method whereby system impedances and quantities are normalised across different voltage levels to a common base. By removing...
The European Union is implementing a voluntary code of practice for participants with the aim of improving the overall efficiency of data centres. As part...
Many questions sent in to the site are in connection with motor starting and in particular star-delta. For all but the simplest application, there is...
