Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
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...
I was reminded of Occam's Razor while reading a book. It's quite a simple principal of logic which has stood the test of time and is accepted as central...
The windings of many medium and small sized transformers are protected by restricted earth fault (REF) systems. The illustration shows the principal of...
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
If you are working on a large plan, get the real coordinates [latitude, longitude] for two or more points and add them to the drawing. That way you can...
Request to look at induction motor starting time have come up a few times on the site. Hopefully in this post, I give you guys some idea on how to calculate...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
IEC 60287 "Calculation of the continuous current rating of cables (100% load factor)" is the International Standard which defines the procedures and equations...
Often document control is dictated by project requirements, for example a particular organisation may have an existing numbering system. Existing company...
When thinking about watts (W) or kilowatt (kW = 1000 W) it can be useful too keep in mind the fundamental ideas behind the unit. Watt is not a pure electrical...
