Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
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.
Fire resistant and fire retardant cable sheaths are design to resist combustion and limit the propagation of flames. Low smokes cables have a sheath designed...
I have been thinking recently that there appears to be less professional integrity around than when I first started my career in electrical engineering...
"I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong...
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...
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
Recently I have seen a few interesting articles on viable cold fusion; the combining of atoms at room like temperatures to create boundless energy. Now...
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...
In an earlier note on the site [Photovoltaic (PV) - Electrical Calculations], the theory of solar (PV) cell calculations was introduced. In particular...
Battery powered cars are a hot topic and widely debated. The pros, cons, issues and time frames can be talked about endlessly. An article by the Telegraph...
