Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
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...
Working in the vicinity of electrical equipment poses an hazard. In addition to electric shock hazard, fault currents passing through air causes Arc Flash...
Most installations involve some form of lightning protection system which is connected to an earth electrode. The function of the earth electrode is to...
Fire resistant and fire retardant cable sheaths are design to resist combustion and limit the propagation of flames. Low smokes cables have a sheath designed...
Motor starting and its associated problems are well-known to many people who have worked on large industrial processes. However, these things are, of course...
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...
The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.
I was reminded of Occam's Razor while reading a book. It's quite a simple principal of logic which has stood the test of time and is accepted as central...
There are a lot of interesting two page type notes on various medium voltage topics – switchgear, circuit breakers, bus systems etc. It is on the Siemens...
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...
