Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Lamps are the essential part of any luminaire. These are the light generating components. Since the advent of electrical lighting in the middle of the...
This post is quick introduction and overview to different railway electrification voltages used in answer to a question sent in via email. While there...
The calculation of current in a three phase system has been brought up on our site feedback and is a discussion I seem to get involved in every now and...
Traditionally generation of electricity has involved rotating machines to produce alternating sinusoidal voltage and current (a.c. systems). With the development...
In a previous article I looked at the dc resistance of conductors and in this article we turn our attention to ac resistance. If you have not read the...
Collection of links to various places with useful motor information. I’ll try and return to the page every now and again to update it with any motor notes...
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...
Per unit fault calculations is a method whereby system impedances and quantities are normalised across different voltage levels to a common base. By removing...
This article gives an introduction to IEEE 485 method for the selection and calculation of battery capacity.
Current transformers (CTs) are used to convert high level currents to a smaller more reasonable level for use as inputs to protection relays and metering...
