Power systems theory - generation, transmissions and distribution
Over the past year or so I've been involved in on going discussions related to referring fault levels from the secondary of a transformer to the primary...
Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
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...
The 27 km, Euro 6 billion Collider lies on the border between France and Switzerland, took nearly 30 years to complete. Some of the lofty goals for the...
The IEC publishes a series of documents and rules governing the preparation of documents, drawings and the referencing of equipment. Depending on country...

When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are typically more efficient when connected in parallel with a main power gird. During periods when the PV system generates energy...
The robot folding towels post below was interesting enough at the time to post a link. Recently I’ve come across a couple of other interesting videos...
Alternating current (a.c.) is the backbone of modern electrical power distribution. In this article I’ll be pulling some of the more important concepts...
