Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
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...
Capacitors are widely used in electrical engineering for functions such as energy storage, power factor correction, voltage compensation and many others...
Just added a page to the tools, which will allow you to calculate the synchronous speed, slip and rated torque for an induction motor. Not a particularly...
IEC 60287 "Calculation of the continuous current rating of cables (100% load factor)" is the International Standard which defines the procedures and equations...
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...
The mobile phone was born in 1973. They were the size of a brick and weighed a couple of kg, making them difficult to fit into your pocket. At a few thousand...
GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:
Our question and answer system while letting you do exactly what it says, is much more. It is a dynamic user driven system, where our users not only ask...
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...
One of the requirements to ensuring that everything works is to have equipment selected, manufactured and verified [tested] to IEC standards. Not all equipment...
