Anyone specifying or using electric motors should have a basic understanding how the insulation is related to temperature. Three classes of insulation...
We have a sister note to this (Robots - Interesting Video), in which I have posted some videos of interesting robots developed by commercial corporations...
IEC 60228 is the International Electrotechnical Commission's international standard on conductors of insulated cables. Among other things, it defines a...
In three phase systems, the use of transformers with three windings (or legs) per side is common. These three windings are often connected in delta or...
Insulation on a motor prevents interconnection of windings and the winding to earth. When looking at motors, it is important to understand how the insulation...
Earthing of electrical systems is essential for the correct functioning and the protecting of life and equipment in the event of faults. The earth electrode...
Straight forward list of some common motor faults. If I have missed any other common faults, please take a bit of time to add them in as a comment below...
Modelica is an open source (free) software language for modelling complex systems. Having never used it before, I thought I would download a development...
GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:
