Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
IEC 60228 is the International Electrotechnical Commission's international standard on conductors of insulated cables. Among other things, it defines a...
I have been thinking recently that there appears to be less professional integrity around than when I first started my career in electrical engineering...
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...
This is the first of two posts on the resistance of conductors. In the next post I will look at the ac resistance, including skin effect and we deal with...
Here’s list of some famous scientists. Deliberately short, with the aim to provide a quick memory jog or overview. If your looking for more detailed information...
If you have a great idea or invent something the last thing you want is someone to steal the idea. One of the things you can do is protect the intellectual...
Modelica is an open source (free) software language for modelling complex systems. Having never used it before, I thought I would download a development...
When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
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...
