If the active current is not equal and opposite to the neutral current, then the RCD will trip. PE and N are linked in the distribution...

I guess in the UK you have a MEN system. That will have no PE from the supplier, only a neutral. Does the armoured supply cable contain...

Yes.

The phasor diagram does not change with voltage, the voltages are simply scaled. An autotransformer could be used to boost the input...

Your diagram is correct, but the voltages are confusing because you do not indicate if a voltage is Vrms or Vpk, so it is hard to...

This is one way to convert a single phase, active with neutral, into three-phase lines with 120° separation. The neutral becomes the...

A 3PH supply is just three single phase lines relative to neutral, the phase differences are 120°. The phase voltage, is the voltage...

That is the basis of the VFD solution. Alternately, by using a phase shift capacitor to drive the third phase, the circulating field...

Two balls, with surface friction, can build a wedge across the exit tube. That is because the balls counter-rotate and can lock like a...

A pulsar is a noise source that pulses in a noisier background. The detected signal from the brightest pulsar, fed in real time to an...

Efficient steam engines tend to be two stage compound engines. What type of steam engine do you have for the project? Are you able to...

1. In the first case, no current flows through air, so the E-field will be a dipole field, centred halfway along the axis between the...

The astronomical term is "Synodic Day", because that Earth rotation is measured relative to the Sun, not (sidereal) the stars. The term...
