Power systems theory - generation, transmissions and distribution
Three phase systems are derived from three separate windings, either connected in delta or star (wye). Each winding can be treated separately, leading...
When making adding a Note to our site we have a great online WYSIWYG editor and things are pretty simple. However, if you prefer you can write, manage...
Various techniques exist to enable the correct selection of batteries for UPS applications. The procedure described below is one of the more common. ...
Dielectrics (insulating materials for example) when subjected to a varying electric field, will have some energy loss. The varying electric field causes...
Traditionally substations have used circuit breakers, current transformers (CT), voltage transformers (VT) and protection relays all wired together using...
Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
This post is quick introduction and overview to different railway electrification voltages used in answer to a question sent in via email. While there...
Steel ladders, trays and baskets form the backbone of cable containment systems. Often these items need some form of surface treatment to prevent corrosion...
This article gives an introduction to IEEE 485 method for the selection and calculation of battery capacity.
Electrical engineering has a multitude of laws and theorems. It is fair to say the Ohm's Law is one of the more widely known; it not the most known. Developed...
