Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
In the previous note we looked at the approach taken by the standard to the sizing of cables and illustrated this with an example. We then looked at one...
One of the requirements to ensuring that everything works is to have equipment selected, manufactured and verified [tested] to IEC standards. Not all equipment...
Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
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...
In a previous article I looked at the dc resistance of conductors and in this article we turn our attention to ac resistance. If you have not read the...
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...
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...
Maxwell's Equations are a set of fundamental relationships, which govern how electric and magnetic fields interact. The equations explain how these fields...
Famed English chemist and physicist Michael Faraday was born on September 22, 1791, in Newington Butts, a suburb of Surrey just south of the London Bridge...
