Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
It's been a busy few months on different projects or busy couple of decades depending on how I look at it. I can say that on the odd (frequent) occasion...
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...
The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.
Three phase systems are derived from three separate windings, either connected in delta or star (wye). Each winding can be treated separately, leading...
Battery powered cars are a hot topic and widely debated. The pros, cons, issues and time frames can be talked about endlessly. An article by the Telegraph...
GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:
While there are a vast array of cable insulation materials, these are often divided into two general types; Thermoplastic or Thermosetting. For example...
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...
Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
