Straight forward list of some common motor faults.  If I have missed any other common faults, please take a bit of time to add them in as a comment below...

Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...

Traditionally substations have used circuit breakers, current transformers (CT), voltage transformers (VT) and protection relays all wired together using...

Gauss's Electrical law defines the relation between charge ("Positive" & "Negative") and electric field.  The law was initially formulated by Carl Friedrich...

I have been thinking recently that there appears to be less professional integrity around than when I first started my career in electrical engineering...

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...

How often installations are inspected is up to the owner of the installation, provided such durations do not exceed any regulatory maximums in force. ...

Motor starting and its associated problems are well-known to many people who have worked on large industrial processes. However, these things are, of course...

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.

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