Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
When looking at the design of a lighting scheme it is useful to have an understanding on the nature of light itself and some of the basic theory associated...
While there are a vast array of cable insulation materials, these are often divided into two general types; Thermoplastic or Thermosetting. For example...
The other day I was talking to a colleague who is a building services consultant. Despite regularly specifying dry-type/cast resin transformers he was...
Modelica is an open source (free) software language for modelling complex systems. Having never used it before, I thought I would download a development...
Everything physical in electrical engineering from insulations to conductors revolves around materials. Here we are listing common materials along with...
