Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are typically more efficient when connected in parallel with a main power gird. During periods when the PV system generates energy...
Most installations involve some form of lightning protection system which is connected to an earth electrode. The function of the earth electrode is to...
Our IEE cable sizing was wrote a few years ago and had become rough around the edges. I thought it was time to give the tool a service. Unfortunately when...
The calculation of current in a three phase system has been brought up on our site feedback and is a discussion I seem to get involved in every now and...

The inventor of the first visible light-emitting diode makes history again this year as it begins to show customers a 40-watt replacement GE Energy Smart...
If you have no idea how electrical circuits work, or what people mean then they talk about volts and amps, hopefully I can shed a bit light. I’m intending...
Lead acid batteries are cost effect and reliable, making them suitable for many applications.This note examines topics of interest associated with the...
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...
Many medium voltage (MV) indoor switchgear rooms exist worldwide. The complexity of these rooms varies considerably depending on location, function and...
