Power systems theory - generation, transmissions and distribution
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
For unbalance conditions the calculation of fault currents is more complex. One method of dealing with this is symmetrical components. Using symmetrical...
If your are ever called out to troubleshoot something on your electrical system, one of the first things consider is the supply voltage. You want to ensure...
Variable frequency drives are widely used to control the speed of ac motors. This note looks at the mechanisms which enable drive units to control the...
If you have no idea how electrical circuits work, or what people mean then they talk about volts and amps, hopefully I can shed a bit light. I’m intending...
A fundamental concept behind the operation of alternating current systems is that voltage and current waveforms will be sinusoidal – a Sine Wave. This...
Modelica is an open source (free) software language for modelling complex systems. Having never used it before, I thought I would download a development...
Anyone specifying or using electric motors should have a basic understanding how the insulation is related to temperature. Three classes of insulation...
This article gives an introduction to IEEE 485 method for the selection and calculation of battery capacity.
When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...
