Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
IEC 61439 'Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies', specifies standard arrangements of switchboard (call forms of internal separation). The...
If your are ever called out to troubleshoot something on your electrical system, one of the first things consider is the supply voltage. You want to ensure...
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...
Three phase systems are derived from three separate windings, either connected in delta or star (wye). Each winding can be treated separately, leading...
Lead acid batteries are cost effect and reliable, making them suitable for many applications.This note examines topics of interest associated with the...
Per unit fault calculations is a method whereby system impedances and quantities are normalised across different voltage levels to a common base. By removing...
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...
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
Depending where in the world you work, you are likely following one of two standards International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) National...
If you have no idea how electrical circuits work, or what people mean then they talk about volts and amps, hopefully I can shed a bit light. I’m intending...
