Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Years ago I was told that you should always try to write the best report you can. Many years later I still think on this as one of the better pieces of...
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...
The IEC publishes a series of documents and rules governing the preparation of documents, drawings and the referencing of equipment. Depending on country...
Modelica is an open source (free) software language for modelling complex systems. Having never used it before, I thought I would download a development...
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are typically more efficient when connected in parallel with a main power gird. During periods when the PV system generates energy...
Fire resistant and fire retardant cable sheaths are design to resist combustion and limit the propagation of flames. Low smokes cables have a sheath designed...
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...
How often installations are inspected is up to the owner of the installation, provided such durations do not exceed any regulatory maximums in force. ...
Three phase systems are derived from three separate windings, either connected in delta or star (wye). Each winding can be treated separately, leading...
Sometimes it’s useful to be able to quickly lookup a piece of technical information. This note is a collection of information related to motors, and in...
