Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
We have had the Wiki with us for a long time now, but at last I have decided to say bye bye – more details on why below.
This post is quick introduction and overview to different railway electrification voltages used in answer to a question sent in via email. While there...
"I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong...
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.
Working in the vicinity of electrical equipment poses an hazard. In addition to electric shock hazard, fault currents passing through air causes Arc Flash...
One of the requirements to ensuring that everything works is to have equipment selected, manufactured and verified [tested] to IEC standards. Not all equipment...
The other day I was reading 'Night of the New Magicians' by Mary Pope Osborn with my son. The story is about a young boy and girl who travel back in time...
For unbalance conditions the calculation of fault currents is more complex. One method of dealing with this is symmetrical components. Using symmetrical...
Often us engineers get so bogged down in equations, using software, producing drawings and writing specifications that this becomes the sole focus. ...
