Power systems theory - generation, transmissions and distribution
This is the second post in a series of two on periodic electrical inspections. In the first post, I discussed how often inspections should be carried out...
Multimeters are undoubtedly the most common item of electrical test equipment in use. Often it is the first piece of equipment people will turn to when...
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...
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...

We have had the Wiki with us for a long time now, but at last I have decided to say bye bye – more details on why below.
Problems on achieving maximum voltage drop within an installation come up often. Depending where you live, local regulations will have different limits...
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...
When current flows within a wire, a magnetic field is created. The potion of this magnetic field perpendicular to the wire is called the magnetic flux...
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...
