Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Collection of links to various places with useful motor information. I’ll try and return to the page every now and again to update it with any motor notes...
If you want to check a circuit is dead (not live), you should always use the three point method. First check a known live circuit, then check the dead...
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...
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...
Coils of wire on the rotor carry a d.c. current which generates a magnetic field. A stator magnetic field is created using either permanent magnets or...
Steel ladders, trays and baskets form the backbone of cable containment systems. Often these items need some form of surface treatment to prevent corrosion...
Many medium voltage (MV) indoor switchgear rooms exist worldwide. The complexity of these rooms varies considerably depending on location, function and...
Over recent years the Lithium Ion battery has become popular in applications requiring high power densities with small weight and footprint. Today Lithium...
I was reminded of Occam's Razor while reading a book. It's quite a simple principal of logic which has stood the test of time and is accepted as central...
Most installations involve some form of lightning protection system which is connected to an earth electrode. The function of the earth electrode is to...
