Power systems theory - generation, transmissions and distribution
The other day I came across an article in Technology Review on the development of a smart transformer. A professor at North Carolina State University is...
Many medium voltage (MV) indoor switchgear rooms exist worldwide. The complexity of these rooms varies considerably depending on location, function and...
Problems on achieving maximum voltage drop within an installation come up often. Depending where you live, local regulations will have different limits...
When thinking about watts (W) or kilowatt (kW = 1000 W) it can be useful too keep in mind the fundamental ideas behind the unit. Watt is not a pure electrical...
Bored at work and would rather be playing trump card game with you son. The next best thing (or not) maybe the online cable trump card game from AEI Cables...
