Power systems theory - generation, transmissions and distribution
A load flow study is the analysis of an electrical network carried out by an electrical engineer. The purpose is to understand how power flows around...
I was having a conversation the other day about voltage levels. While everyone was in agreement that low voltage was 1000 V and less, there was more confusion...
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...
The image (reproduced from IEC 60909) shows a typical fault in an ac system. From the illustration it can seen that there is an initial dc component ...
The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.
Electrical notes are a collaborative collection of electrical engineering information and educational material. Any registered user can add content. ...
One of the comments on my Motor Starting Series was asking for something on duty cycles. Here it is. As a purchaser of a motor, you have responsibility...
Often us engineers get so bogged down in equations, using software, producing drawings and writing specifications that this becomes the sole focus. ...
Everything physical in electrical engineering from insulations to conductors revolves around materials. Here we are listing common materials along with...
The term 'N+1' relates to redundancy and simply means that if you required 'N' items of equipment for something to work, you would have one additional...
