Alternating current (a.c.) is the backbone of modern electrical power distribution. In this article I’ll be pulling some of the more important concepts...

Exposure to time varying magnetic fields, from power frequencies to the gigahertz range can have harmful consequences.  A lot of research has been conducted...

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

Installation of a UPS can help in reducing problems due to issues with the power supply.  A lot of people relate this to nine key issues.  Depending on...

The robot folding towels post below was interesting enough at the time to post a link.  Recently I’ve come across a couple of other interesting videos...

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

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...

For unbalance conditions the calculation of fault currents is more complex. One method of dealing with this is symmetrical components. Using symmetrical...

This post is quick introduction and overview to different railway electrification voltages used in answer to a question sent in via email. While there...

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...
