Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
The widely used United Sates standard ANSI/IEEE C37.2 'Electrical Power System Device Function Numbers, Acronyms, and Contact Designations' deals with...
Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
The fundamental component of any analogue computer is the operational amplifier, or op amp. An operational amplifier (often called an op-amp,) is a high...
Traditionally generation of electricity has involved rotating machines to produce alternating sinusoidal voltage and current (a.c. systems). With the development...
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...
Many questions sent in to the site are in connection with motor starting and in particular star-delta. For all but the simplest application, there is...
Electric motors are one of the most widely used items of electrical equipment. Improving motor efficiency benefits include, reduced power demand, lower...
Straight forward list of some common motor faults. If I have missed any other common faults, please take a bit of time to add them in as a comment below...
Years ago I was told that you should always try to write the best report you can. Many years later I still think on this as one of the better pieces of...
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...
