Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
IEC 60228 is the International Electrotechnical Commission's international standard on conductors of insulated cables. Among other things, it defines a...
Over the past year or so I've been involved in on going discussions related to referring fault levels from the secondary of a transformer to the primary...
Various techniques exist to enable the correct selection of batteries for UPS applications. The procedure described below is one of the more common. ...
When current flows within a wire, a magnetic field is created. The potion of this magnetic field perpendicular to the wire is called the magnetic flux...
The correct sizing of current transformers is required to ensure satisfactory operation of measuring instruments and protection relays. Several methods...
Coils of wire on the rotor carry a d.c. current which generates a magnetic field. A stator magnetic field is created using either permanent magnets or...
Over recent years the Lithium Ion battery has become popular in applications requiring high power densities with small weight and footprint. Today Lithium...
The other day I was talking to a colleague who is a building services consultant. Despite regularly specifying dry-type/cast resin transformers he was...
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...
