IEC 60228 is the International Electrotechnical Commission's international standard on conductors of insulated cables. Among other things, it defines a...
When selecting a generator, there are inherent limits on the active and reactive power which can be delivered. Generators are normally sized for a certain...
I think this post is going to be helpful to several of our readers. While the IEC low voltage circuit breaker Standard [IEC 60947-2, Low voltage switchgear...
Just added a page to the tools, which will allow you to calculate the synchronous speed, slip and rated torque for an induction motor. Not a particularly...
Dielectrics (insulating materials for example) when subjected to a varying electric field, will have some energy loss. The varying electric field causes...
Collection of links to various places with useful motor information. I’ll try and return to the page every now and again to update it with any motor notes...
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...
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...
Everything physical in electrical engineering from insulations to conductors revolves around materials. Here we are listing common materials along with...
Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
