Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
When sizing cables, the heat generated by losses within any sheath or armour need to be evaluated. When significant, it becomes a factor to be considered...
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...
Most installations involve some form of lightning protection system which is connected to an earth electrode. The function of the earth electrode is to...
IEC 62305 'Protection against lightning' requires a risk assessment be carried out to determine the characteristics of any lightning protection system...
Over recent years the Lithium Ion battery has become popular in applications requiring high power densities with small weight and footprint. Today Lithium...
Dielectrics (insulating materials for example) when subjected to a varying electric field, will have some energy loss. The varying electric field causes...
A fundamental concept behind the operation of alternating current systems is that voltage and current waveforms will be sinusoidal – a Sine Wave. This...
Everything physical in electrical engineering from insulations to conductors revolves around materials. Here we are listing common materials along with...
Over the past year or so I've been involved in on going discussions related to referring fault levels from the secondary of a transformer to the primary...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
