Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
I was reminded of Occam's Razor while reading a book. It's quite a simple principal of logic which has stood the test of time and is accepted as central...
Per unit fault calculations is a method whereby system impedances and quantities are normalised across different voltage levels to a common base. By removing...
Resistors are electronic components that oppose the flow of current. Manufactured in various types and ranges they have a wide application to electronics...
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...
A fundamental concept behind the operation of alternating current systems is that voltage and current waveforms will be sinusoidal – a Sine Wave. This...
The mobile phone was born in 1973. They were the size of a brick and weighed a couple of kg, making them difficult to fit into your pocket. At a few thousand...
GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:
The new standard IEC 61439 replaces the old 60439. Compared to the old standard, the new 61439 is a more clearly defined and takes into account the assembly...
When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...
Problems on achieving maximum voltage drop within an installation come up often. Depending where you live, local regulations will have different limits...
