Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
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...
In electrical engineering, Network Theory is the study of how to solve circuit problems. By analyzing circuits, the engineer looks to determine the various...
When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...
A UPS is an uninterruptible power supply. It is a device which maintains a continuous supply of electrical power, even in the event of failure of the...
Using software in our work is essential for most of us and we are becoming even more dependant on it's use. While software is a great asset, many times...
In the previous note we looked at the approach taken by the standard to the sizing of cables and illustrated this with an example. We then looked at one...
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...
If you want to check a circuit is dead (not live), you should always use the three point method. First check a known live circuit, then check the dead...
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...
This morning I was explaining how differential protection works to a junior engineer. To give him something to read I opened up the NPAG (Network Protection...
