Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Problems on achieving maximum voltage drop within an installation come up often. Depending where you live, local regulations will have different limits...
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...
Before the technical, some general information. E-ink display are found in a lot of e-readers, some mobile phones and similar devices and the intent is...
I've recently come across this question a couple times browsing the internet. Decided to give a quick answer here. A rectifier transformer is a transformer...
Capacitors have numerous applications in electrical and electronic applications. This note examines the use of capacitors to store electrical energy....

In the previous note we looked at the approach taken by the standard to the sizing of cables and illustrated this with an example. We then looked at one...
One of the fundamental requirements of an alternating current distribution systems it to have the ability to change the magnitude of voltages. It is more...
It wasn't so long ago I was telling someone that I don't use rules of thumb as most things are easily calculated anyhow. As it turns out I last week...
It starts with me reading one of the Horrible History books with my son (Groovy Greeks). Arrows were mentioned which lead to the discussion of the bodkin...
