Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Three phase systems are derived from three separate windings, either connected in delta or star (wye). Each winding can be treated separately, leading...
IEC 60287 "Calculation of the continuous current rating of cables (100% load factor)" is the International Standard which defines the procedures and equations...
Power cables can basically be classified into earthed and unearthed cables, where earthed and unearthed refer to the application for which the cable is...
Problems on achieving maximum voltage drop within an installation come up often. Depending where you live, local regulations will have different limits...
Laplace transforms and their inverse are a mathematical technique which allows us to solve differential equations, by primarily using algebraic methods...
Power factor is the ratio between the real power (P in kW) and apparent power (S in kVA) drawn by an electrical load. The reactive power (Q in kVAr)...
At the beginning of the year China put the world's first 1,000 kV UHV transmission system into operation. Transmitting power at over a million volts is...
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...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
