The mobile phone was born in 1973. They were the size of a brick and weighed a couple of kg, making them difficult to fit into your pocket. At a few thousand...

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

Over the past year or so I've been involved in on going discussions related to referring fault levels from the secondary of a transformer to the primary...

Induction motors are frequently used in both industrial and domestic applications.  Within the induction motor, an electrical current in the rotor is induced...

This is the first of two posts on the resistance of conductors. In the next post I will look at the ac resistance, including skin effect and we deal with...
