Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
A fundamental concept behind the operation of alternating current systems is that voltage and current waveforms will be sinusoidal – a Sine Wave. This...
The 27 km, Euro 6 billion Collider lies on the border between France and Switzerland, took nearly 30 years to complete. Some of the lofty goals for the...
IEC 60287 "Calculation of the continuous current rating of cables (100% load factor)" is the International Standard which defines the procedures and equations...
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...
Most installations involve some form of lightning protection system which is connected to an earth electrode. The function of the earth electrode is to...
A recurring theme on our forums is cable sizing. Now many installations are unique and require special consideration. However, a lot of the time things...
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...
I have been thinking recently that there appears to be less professional integrity around than when I first started my career in electrical engineering...
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...
Power cables can basically be classified into earthed and unearthed cables, where earthed and unearthed refer to the application for which the cable is...
