Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
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 new standard IEC 61439 replaces the old 60439. Compared to the old standard, the new 61439 is a more clearly defined and takes into account the assembly...
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...
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...
Earthing of electrical systems is essential for the correct functioning and the protecting of life and equipment in the event of faults. The earth electrode...
