Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
When sizing cables, the heat generated by losses within any sheath or armour need to be evaluated. When significant, it becomes a factor to be considered...
I received this question by email a few weeks. First thoughts was that it is a product of the mathematics of rotating a straight conductor in a magnetic...
When current flows within a wire, a magnetic field is created. The potion of this magnetic field perpendicular to the wire is called the magnetic flux...
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...
In electrical engineering, Network Theory is the study of how to solve circuit problems. By analyzing circuits, the engineer looks to determine the various...

A lot of our members work in countries where PPE (personal protective equipment) is regulated or they work for companies/organizations which take employee...
American inventor Thomas Alva Edison was born in Milan, Ohio on February 11, 1847. He was the youngest of seven children and received little formal schooling...
Insulation on a motor prevents interconnection of windings and the winding to earth. When looking at motors, it is important to understand how the insulation...
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...
