Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
When sizing cables nearly, everyone uses some form of software. This ranges from homespun spreadsheets to complex network analyses software. Each has its...
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 correct sizing of current transformers is required to ensure satisfactory operation of measuring instruments and protection relays. Several methods...
I've been considering a blog on the 110 or 230 Volt issue for a while. While browsing the Internet I came across a great summary by Borat over at engineering...
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...
The other day I came across an article in Technology Review on the development of a smart transformer. A professor at North Carolina State University is...
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...
There are a lot of interesting two page type notes on various medium voltage topics – switchgear, circuit breakers, bus systems etc. It is on the Siemens...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
