Power systems theory - generation, transmissions and distribution
Earthing of electrical systems is essential for the correct functioning and the protecting of life and equipment in the event of faults. The earth electrode...
Capacitors are widely used in electrical engineering for functions such as energy storage, power factor correction, voltage compensation and many others...
The calculation of current in a three phase system has been brought up on our site feedback and is a discussion I seem to get involved in every now and...
This post is quick introduction and overview to different railway electrification voltages used in answer to a question sent in via email. While there...
Many questions sent in to the site are in connection with motor starting and in particular star-delta. For all but the simplest application, there is...
For unbalance conditions the calculation of fault currents is more complex. One method of dealing with this is symmetrical components. Using symmetrical...
The windings of many medium and small sized transformers are protected by restricted earth fault (REF) systems. The illustration shows the principal of...
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...
In a previous article I looked at the dc resistance of conductors and in this article we turn our attention to ac resistance. If you have not read the...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
