Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
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...
Problems on achieving maximum voltage drop within an installation come up often. Depending where you live, local regulations will have different limits...
Power cables can basically be classified into earthed and unearthed cables, where earthed and unearthed refer to the application for which the cable is...
This is the first of two posts on the resistance of conductors. In the next post I will look at the ac resistance, including skin effect and we deal with...
Everything physical in electrical engineering from insulations to conductors revolves around materials. Here we are listing common materials along with...
Traditionally generation of electricity has involved rotating machines to produce alternating sinusoidal voltage and current (a.c. systems). With the development...
The (relatively new) switchgear and control gear standard, IEC 61439 'Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies' has three methods which can be...
Often document control is dictated by project requirements, for example a particular organisation may have an existing numbering system. Existing company...
GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:
Years ago I was told that you should always try to write the best report you can. Many years later I still think on this as one of the better pieces of...
