Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
I was having a conversation the other day about voltage levels. While everyone was in agreement that low voltage was 1000 V and less, there was more confusion...
A single phase system is perhaps the most common type of system most people are familiar with. This is what people have in their homes and what appliances...
This article gives an introduction to IEEE 485 method for the selection and calculation of battery capacity.
IEC 60228 is the International Electrotechnical Commission's international standard on conductors of insulated cables. Among other things, it defines a...
Reading is a bit of a hobby of mine and I"ve done a few off-topic posts in the past on this. Rather than continue doing the occasional post I thought ...
The other day I came across an article in Technology Review on the development of a smart transformer. A professor at North Carolina State University is...
Traditionally generation of electricity has involved rotating machines to produce alternating sinusoidal voltage and current (a.c. systems). With the development...
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...
If you want to check a circuit is dead (not live), you should always use the three point method. First check a known live circuit, then check the dead...
Bored at work and would rather be playing trump card game with you son. The next best thing (or not) maybe the online cable trump card game from AEI Cables...
