One of the fundamental requirements of an alternating current distribution systems it to have the ability to change the magnitude of voltages. It is more...
When current flows within a wire, a magnetic field is created. The potion of this magnetic field perpendicular to the wire is called the magnetic flux...
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
Exposure to time varying magnetic fields, from power frequencies to the gigahertz range can have harmful consequences. A lot of research has been conducted...
The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.
While there are a vast array of cable insulation materials, these are often divided into two general types; Thermoplastic or Thermosetting. For example...
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.
It's been a busy few months on different projects or busy couple of decades depending on how I look at it. I can say that on the odd (frequent) occasion...
At the beginning of the year China put the world's first 1,000 kV UHV transmission system into operation. Transmitting power at over a million volts is...
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the study of coordinating electromagnetic fields give off equipment, with the withstand (compatibility) of other...
