The calculation of current in a three phase system has been brought up on our site feedback and is a discussion I seem to get involved in every now and...

Motor starting and its associated problems are well-known to many people who have worked on large industrial processes. However, these things are, of course...

Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...

Estimating maximum demand is a topic frequently discussed. Working out how much power to allow for a building can be very subjective . Allowing too much...

IEC 62305 'Protection against lightning' requires a risk assessment be carried out to determine the characteristics of any lightning protection system...

I have been thinking recently that there appears to be less professional integrity around than when I first started my career in electrical engineering...

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...

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...

GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:

Traditionally substations have used circuit breakers, current transformers (CT), voltage transformers (VT) and protection relays all wired together using...
