Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
I'm a fan of using manufacturers catalogues. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, if your involved in the purchase of equipment, you will likely...
Per unit fault calculations is a method whereby system impedances and quantities are normalised across different voltage levels to a common base. By removing...
In three phase systems, the use of transformers with three windings (or legs) per side is common. These three windings are often connected in delta or...
GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:
From the earliest times, humans have found ways to create light. Pre-historic peoples used natural materials (moss, grass, etc.) soaked in animal fat and...
Here’s list of some famous scientists. Deliberately short, with the aim to provide a quick memory jog or overview. If your looking for more detailed information...
Modelica is an open source (free) software language for modelling complex systems. Having never used it before, I thought I would download a development...
If you are working on a large plan, get the real coordinates [latitude, longitude] for two or more points and add them to the drawing. That way you can...
When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...
Traditionally substations have used circuit breakers, current transformers (CT), voltage transformers (VT) and protection relays all wired together using...
