Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Alternating current (a.c.) is the backbone of modern electrical power distribution. In this article I’ll be pulling some of the more important concepts...
When current flows within a wire, a magnetic field is created. The potion of this magnetic field perpendicular to the wire is called the magnetic flux...
When looking at the design of a lighting scheme it is useful to have an understanding on the nature of light itself and some of the basic theory associated...
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...
A single phase system is perhaps the most common type of system most people are familiar with. This is what people have in their homes and what appliances...
Using laser optical pulses the random number generator utilizes the time between arrival of random photos to generate the numbers, ensuring true accuracy...
Often document control is dictated by project requirements, for example a particular organisation may have an existing numbering system. Existing company...
This is the second post in a series of two on periodic electrical inspections. In the first post, I discussed how often inspections should be carried out...
While there are a vast array of cable insulation materials, these are often divided into two general types; Thermoplastic or Thermosetting. For example...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
