In three phase systems, the use of transformers with three windings (or legs) per side is common. These three windings are often connected in delta or star, resulting in common transformer conf... read more..
Dielectrics (insulating materials for example) when subjected to a varying electric field, will have some energy loss. The varying electric field causes...
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
It wasn't so long ago I was telling someone that I don't use rules of thumb as most things are easily calculated anyhow. As it turns out I last week...
GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:
