Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Straight forward list of some common motor faults. If I have missed any other common faults, please take a bit of time to add them in as a comment below...
The new standard IEC 61439 replaces the old 60439. Compared to the old standard, the new 61439 is a more clearly defined and takes into account the assembly...
When current flows within a wire, a magnetic field is created. The potion of this magnetic field perpendicular to the wire is called the magnetic flux...
Various techniques exist to enable the correct selection of batteries for UPS applications. The procedure described below is one of the more common. ...
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...
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
Our cable sizing tool is one of the more popular tools on the site. The tool enables cables to be sized in compliance with BS 7671 (the IEE Wiring Regulations...
Just added a page to the tools, which will allow you to calculate the synchronous speed, slip and rated torque for an induction motor. Not a particularly...
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...
We have had the Wiki with us for a long time now, but at last I have decided to say bye bye – more details on why below.
