Welcome to the first in a series of articles focusing on electrical calculation basics. This month, we'll discuss the most fundamental of calculations — those for current (I) and kilowatts (kW). We'll ...

Three-phase is a common method of electric power transmission. It is a type of polyphase system used to power motors and many other devices. Three phase has properties that make it very desirable in ...

You can find significant energy-saving opportunities through load balancing and load scheduling when using power logging test tools. Whether conducting an energy audit or troubleshooting to find ...

This whitepaper compares single phase and three phase circuits from the component count, stress level and complexity standpoints. The document shows that on most cases, single phase circuits are the ...

Keep in mind when reading any article about electrical theory or application that it only scratches the surface of the topic. You can dedicate years of your life to understanding electrical theory and ...

The need for the current waveform to track the voltage on a three-phase power system leads to a second set of requirements, in addition to those for a single-phase power factor correction (PFC) system ...

In the original version of this article, the second figure contained an error. The image has been updated. It’s important for engineers to have a good, working ...

In power distribution systems, three-phase transformer configuration directly impacts system reliability and load management. Understanding the trade-offs between Delta and Wye connections enables ...
