Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Using software in our work is essential for most of us and we are becoming even more dependant on it's use. While software is a great asset, many times...
The term 'N+1' relates to redundancy and simply means that if you required 'N' items of equipment for something to work, you would have one additional...
This morning I was explaining how differential protection works to a junior engineer. To give him something to read I opened up the NPAG (Network Protection...
Capacitors are widely used in electrical engineering for functions such as energy storage, power factor correction, voltage compensation and many others...
When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...
Recently I have seen a few interesting articles on viable cold fusion; the combining of atoms at room like temperatures to create boundless energy. Now...
Over the past year or so I've been involved in on going discussions related to referring fault levels from the secondary of a transformer to the primary...
Our IEE cable sizing was wrote a few years ago and had become rough around the edges. I thought it was time to give the tool a service. Unfortunately when...
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...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
