A frequent problem in fault calculations is the obtaining of equipment parameters.  While it is always preferable to use the actual parameters of the equipment...

Variable frequency drives are widely used to control the speed of ac motors.  This note looks at the mechanisms which enable drive units to control the...

GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:

The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.

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...

Most installations involve some form of lightning protection system which is connected to an earth electrode.  The function of the earth electrode is to...

If you have no idea how electrical circuits work, or what people mean then they talk about volts and amps, hopefully I can shed a bit light.  I’m intending...

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...
