The mobile phone was born in 1973. They were the size of a brick and weighed a couple of kg, making them difficult to fit into your pocket. At a few thousand...
Induction motors are frequently used in both industrial and domestic applications. Within the induction motor, an electrical current in the rotor is induced...
Coils of wire on the rotor carry a d.c. current which generates a magnetic field. A stator magnetic field is created using either permanent magnets or...
From the earliest times, humans have found ways to create light. Pre-historic peoples used natural materials (moss, grass, etc.) soaked in animal fat and...
In an earlier note on the site [Photovoltaic (PV) - Electrical Calculations], the theory of solar (PV) cell calculations was introduced. In particular...
Years ago I was told that you should always try to write the best report you can. Many years later I still think on this as one of the better pieces of...
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...
Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...
The new standard IEC 61439 replaces the old 60439. Compared to the old standard, the new 61439 is a more clearly defined and takes into account the assembly...
