We have had the Wiki with us for a long time now, but at last I have decided to say bye bye – more details on why below.
When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...
Maxwell's Equations are a set of fundamental relationships, which govern how electric and magnetic fields interact. The equations explain how these fields...
Various arguments exist around SF6 Gas Insulated (GIS) and Air Insulated (AIS) medium voltage switchgear. Recently we had to change a GIS design to AI...
Three phase systems are derived from three separate windings, either connected in delta or star (wye). Each winding can be treated separately, leading...
