Alternating current (a.c.) is the backbone of modern electrical power distribution. In this article I’ll be pulling some of the more important concepts...

Steel ladders, trays and baskets form the backbone of cable containment systems. Often these items need some form of surface treatment to prevent corrosion...

Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...

When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...

Years ago I was told that you should always try to write the best report you can.  Many years later I still think on this as one of the better pieces of...

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...

Per unit fault calculations is a method whereby system impedances and quantities are normalised across different voltage levels to a common base.  By removing...

Recently I have seen a few interesting articles on viable cold fusion; the combining of atoms at room like temperatures to create boundless energy. Now...

We've been sending out Newsletters on a regular basis for a few weeks now. To do this we have been using Google's Feedburner service. While Feedburner...

Anyone specifying or using electric motors should have a basic understanding how the insulation is related to temperature. Three classes of insulation...
