This article gives an introduction to IEEE 485 method for the selection and calculation of battery capacity.
A quick post in connection with an email question: Live Tank - the circuit breaker the switching unit is located in an insulator bushing which is live...
These lifts were first built in 1884 by J. E. Hall and called a paternoster ("Our Father", the first two words of the Lord's Prayer in Latin) due to its...
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...
Straight forward list of some common motor faults. If I have missed any other common faults, please take a bit of time to add them in as a comment below...
The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.
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...
American inventor Thomas Alva Edison was born in Milan, Ohio on February 11, 1847. He was the youngest of seven children and received little formal schooling...
Capacitors are widely used in electrical engineering for functions such as energy storage, power factor correction, voltage compensation and many others...
A frequent problem in fault calculations is the obtaining of equipment parameters. While it is always preferable to use the actual parameters of the equipment...
