Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Alternating current (a.c.) is the backbone of modern electrical power distribution. In this article I’ll be pulling some of the more important concepts...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
Current transformers (CTs) are used to convert high level currents to a smaller more reasonable level for use as inputs to protection relays and metering...
Electromechanical relays have been the traditional backbone of electrical protection systems. While over recent years these have been replaced by microprocessor...
Most installations involve some form of lightning protection system which is connected to an earth electrode. The function of the earth electrode is to...
Electrical engineering is a field that covers a wide variety of sub-fields, including electricity and electronics. It is a field that goes back to the...
