This post is quick introduction and overview to different railway electrification voltages used in answer to a question sent in via email. While there...

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 calculation of current in a three phase system has been brought up on our site feedback and is a discussion I seem to get involved in every now and...

I've been considering a blog on the 110 or 230 Volt issue for a while.  While browsing the Internet I came across a great summary by Borat over at  engineering...

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

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...

Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of  a cable.  During the historical development of cables, numerous types...

A fundamental concept behind the operation of alternating current systems is that voltage and current waveforms will be sinusoidal – a Sine Wave. This...

Dielectrics (insulating materials for example) when subjected to a varying electric field, will have some energy loss.   The varying electric field causes...
