Induction motors are frequently used in both industrial and domestic applications. Within the induction motor, an electrical current in the rotor is induced...
This is the second post in a series of two on periodic electrical inspections. In the first post, I discussed how often inspections should be carried out...
The IET site has a video of a visit showing of a high tech meeting room developed at Napier University in Edinburgh. It a good demonstration of innovative...
I was having a conversation the other day about voltage levels. While everyone was in agreement that low voltage was 1000 V and less, there was more confusion...
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...
When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...
When sizing cables, the heat generated by losses within any sheath or armour need to be evaluated. When significant, it becomes a factor to be considered...
If you want to check a circuit is dead (not live), you should always use the three point method. First check a known live circuit, then check the dead...
Laplace transforms and their inverse are a mathematical technique which allows us to solve differential equations, by primarily using algebraic methods...
Estimating maximum demand is a topic frequently discussed. Working out how much power to allow for a building can be very subjective . Allowing too much...
