Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
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...

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...
Three phase systems are derived from three separate windings, either connected in delta or star (wye). Each winding can be treated separately, leading...
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...
When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...
A fundamental concept behind the operation of alternating current systems is that voltage and current waveforms will be sinusoidal – a Sine Wave. This...
Most installations involve some form of lightning protection system which is connected to an earth electrode. The function of the earth electrode is to...
Depending where in the world you work, you are likely following one of two standards International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) National...
IEEE TV has a part series of videos on wind power and it's implication. For a really good overview to the technologies and issues around wind power, these...
