It wasn't so long ago I was telling someone that I don't use rules of thumb as most things are easily calculated anyhow. As it turns out I last week...
We have had the Wiki with us for a long time now, but at last I have decided to say bye bye – more details on why below.
The calculation of current in a three phase system has been brought up on our site feedback and is a discussion I seem to get involved in every now and...
One of the comments on my Motor Starting Series was asking for something on duty cycles. Here it is. As a purchaser of a motor, you have responsibility...
Various arguments exist around SF6 Gas Insulated (GIS) and Air Insulated (AIS) medium voltage switchgear. Recently we had to change a GIS design to AI...
