Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
I've been considering a blog on the 110 or 230 Volt issue for a while. While browsing the Internet I came across a great summary by Borat over at engineering...
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...
I think this post is going to be helpful to several of our readers. While the IEC low voltage circuit breaker Standard [IEC 60947-2, Low voltage switchgear...
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...
We have had the Wiki with us for a long time now, but at last I have decided to say bye bye – more details on why below.
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...
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...
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...
I received this question by email a few weeks. First thoughts was that it is a product of the mathematics of rotating a straight conductor in a magnetic...
