In the previous note we looked at the approach taken by the standard to the sizing of cables and illustrated this with an example.  We then looked at one...

The other day I was talking to a colleague who is a building services consultant.  Despite regularly specifying dry-type/cast resin transformers he was...

In three phase systems, the use of transformers with three windings (or legs) per side is common.  These three windings are often connected in delta or...
