Modelica is an open source (free) software language for modelling complex systems. Having never used it before, I thought I would download a development platform and see how it stacked up. This... read more..
When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried out to ensure that any cable is able to withstand ... read more..
When thinking about watts (W) or kilowatt (kW = 1000 W) it can be useful too keep in mind the fundamental ideas behind the unit. Watt is not a pure electrical...
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...
The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.
In electrical engineering, Network Theory is the study of how to solve circuit problems. By analyzing circuits, the engineer looks to determine the various...
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...
