This morning I was explaining how differential protection works to a junior engineer. To give him something to read I opened up the NPAG (Network Protection...
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...
Many questions sent in to the site are in connection with motor starting and in particular star-delta. For all but the simplest application, there is...
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...
Using laser optical pulses the random number generator utilizes the time between arrival of random photos to generate the numbers, ensuring true accuracy...
The IEC publishes a series of documents and rules governing the preparation of documents, drawings and the referencing of equipment. Depending on country...
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...
Within Europe the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) has standardised the both the designation and colour of cables. ...
