    What Are Saturation and Cutoff Points in Drawing the DC Load Line?

    while drawing the dc load line , , we take VCE = 0 and mark it as saturation point but but in saturation state VCE is very small but not zero..! I actually want to make clear that whether its a fact or is it just an assumption to find out saturation point..?? similarly for the cutoff point we...

    Effect of conductor orientation on transmission line ampacity

    Hi guys, I was playing around with conductor configurations and observed this phenomenon. Mind you these are for the High voltage transmission (138 kV) lines that span kms. So apparently, the orientation of the conductor relative to North will change the ampacity of the transmission line. Can...
