1750 awesome technical articles
Hi, I'm an electrical engineer, programmer and founder of EEP - Electrical Engineering Portal. I worked twelve years at Schneider Electric in the position of technical support for low- and medium-voltage projects and the design of busbar trunking systems.
I'm highly specialized in the design of LV/MV switchgear and low-voltage, high-power busbar trunking (<6300A) in substations, commercial buildings and industry facilities. I'm also a professional in AutoCAD programming.

Electric Motor
Torque Of Three-Phase Induction Motor Explained
The rotating force that a motor develops is called torque. Due to the physical laws of inertia, where a body at rest tends to remain at rest, the amount of torque necessary to start a load (starting torque) is always much greater than… Read more

Sources and Contributors To Short Circuit Current
Every electrical system confines electric current flow to selected paths by surrounding the conductors with insulators of various types. Short circuit current is the flow of electrical energy that results when the insulation barrier fails and allows current to flow… Read more

Working principle of thermal motor protection relay
Thermal motor protection relays contain three bimetal strips together with a trip mechanism in a housing made of insulating material. The bimetal strips are heated by the motor current, causing them to bend and activating the trip mechanism after a… Read more
