HTML supports a variety of entity symbols which can be entered using either numbers or an entity name. The number or name is preceded by the ‘&’ sign and ends in a semi-colon (;). To ... read more..
Two driverless and solar power vans have departed from Italy on their way to China via the silk road. During the 13,000 kM trip the vans will drive themselves...
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...
Exposure to time varying magnetic fields, from power frequencies to the gigahertz range can have harmful consequences. A lot of research has been conducted...
Steel ladders, trays and baskets form the backbone of cable containment systems. Often these items need some form of surface treatment to prevent corrosion...
Often document control is dictated by project requirements, for example a particular organisation may have an existing numbering system. Existing company...
Over recent years the Lithium Ion battery has become popular in applications requiring high power densities with small weight and footprint. Today Lithium...
Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
The calculation of current in a three phase system has been brought up on our site feedback and is a discussion I seem to get involved in every now and...
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...
Earthing of electrical systems is essential for the correct functioning and the protecting of life and equipment in the event of faults. The earth electrode...
