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...
Most installations involve some form of lightning protection system which is connected to an earth electrode. The function of the earth electrode is to...
A frequent problem in fault calculations is the obtaining of equipment parameters. While it is always preferable to use the actual parameters of the equipment...
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...
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...
Using software in our work is essential for most of us and we are becoming even more dependant on it's use. While software is a great asset, many times...
Traditionally substations have used circuit breakers, current transformers (CT), voltage transformers (VT) and protection relays all wired together using...
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...
Capacitors have numerous applications in electrical and electronic applications. This note examines the use of capacitors to store electrical energy....
