Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Electrical engineering has a multitude of laws and theorems. It is fair to say the Ohm's Law is one of the more widely known; it not the most known. Developed...
When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...
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...
Three phase systems are derived from three separate windings, either connected in delta or star (wye). Each winding can be treated separately, leading...
Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
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...
In a previous article I looked at the dc resistance of conductors and in this article we turn our attention to ac resistance. If you have not read the...
I have been thinking recently that there appears to be less professional integrity around than when I first started my career in electrical engineering...
Using software in our work is essential for most of us and we are becoming even more dependant on it's use. While software is a great asset, many times...
The IET site has a video of a visit showing of a high tech meeting room developed at Napier University in Edinburgh. It a good demonstration of innovative...
