Famed English chemist and physicist Michael Faraday was born on September 22, 1791, in Newington Butts, a suburb of Surrey just south of the London Bridge...
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...
The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.
Many questions sent in to the site are in connection with motor starting and in particular star-delta. For all but the simplest application, there is...
When selecting a generator, there are inherent limits on the active and reactive power which can be delivered. Generators are normally sized for a certain...
The windings of many medium and small sized transformers are protected by restricted earth fault (REF) systems. The illustration shows the principal of...
If you have no idea how electrical circuits work, or what people mean then they talk about volts and amps, hopefully I can shed a bit light. I’m intending...
GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:
The International System of Units (abbreviated SI) is the world's most widely used system of units. The system consists of a set of units and prefixes...
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...
