Carrying out a protection system discrimination study is critical to ensure the correct functioning of the electrical system in the event of faults. The IEC defines discrimination as:
Traditionally substations have used circuit breakers, current transformers (CT), voltage transformers (VT) and protection relays all wired together using...
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...
Anyone specifying or using electric motors should have a basic understanding how the insulation is related to temperature. Three classes of insulation...
In electrical engineering, Network Theory is the study of how to solve circuit problems. By analyzing circuits, the engineer looks to determine the various...
Insulation on a motor prevents interconnection of windings and the winding to earth. When looking at motors, it is important to understand how the insulation...
Electromechanical relays have been the traditional backbone of electrical protection systems. While over recent years these have been replaced by microprocessor...
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.
Everything physical in electrical engineering from insulations to conductors revolves around materials. Here we are listing common materials along with...
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...
GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:
