Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Modelica is an open source (free) software language for modelling complex systems. Having never used it before, I thought I would download a development...
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...
IEC 60947 is the circuit breaker standard and covers the marking of breakers in detail. Any manufacturer following this standard should comply with the...
It wasn't so long ago I was telling someone that I don't use rules of thumb as most things are easily calculated anyhow. As it turns out I last week...
The standard aims to consolidate AC and traction voltages within the industry and defines the following bands: band 1 - A.C. systems 100 V to 1...
I have been thinking recently that there appears to be less professional integrity around than when I first started my career in electrical engineering...
The other day I came across an article in Technology Review on the development of a smart transformer. A professor at North Carolina State University is...
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...
Anyone specifying or using electric motors should have a basic understanding how the insulation is related to temperature. Three classes of insulation...
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.
