The IET site has a video of a visit showing of a high tech meeting room developed at Napier University in Edinburgh. It a good demonstration of innovative...
Electrical engineering has a multitude of laws and theorems. It is fair to say the Ohm's Law is one of the more widely known; it not the most known. Developed...
Coils of wire on the rotor carry a d.c. current which generates a magnetic field. A stator magnetic field is created using either permanent magnets or...
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...
Problems on achieving maximum voltage drop within an installation come up often. Depending where you live, local regulations will have different limits...
