Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
Problems on achieving maximum voltage drop within an installation come up often. Depending where you live, local regulations will have different limits...
Induction motors are frequently used in both industrial and domestic applications. Within the induction motor, an electrical current in the rotor is induced...
Maxwell's Equations are a set of fundamental relationships, which govern how electric and magnetic fields interact. The equations explain how these fields...

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.
The International System of Units (abbreviated SI) is the world's most widely used system of units. The system consists of a set of units and prefixes...
I think this post is going to be helpful to several of our readers. While the IEC low voltage circuit breaker Standard [IEC 60947-2, Low voltage switchgear...
Often us engineers get so bogged down in equations, using software, producing drawings and writing specifications that this becomes the sole focus. ...
Per unit fault calculations is a method whereby system impedances and quantities are normalised across different voltage levels to a common base. By removing...
