    Distribution Switchboard -- 3-phase 4-Wire 120/208V: 1200 A Main Distribution

    Thanks for the feedback guys. The following is information I have found relevant to my work: Instances in which Fusible Switches would be used in lieu of Group Mounted Devices (Circuit Breakers) are feeder device amperages over 1200 A, Single Mains over 800 A, or if a Device is a Double Ended...

    Engineering Working Abroad for Electrical Engineering - What to Know?

    As far as my academics were concerned, I specialized in Power and Energy, Devices, Circuits, and Sensors. I have practical experience in microwave engineering, but it was very niche in meta - DRA design. I would be happy doing analog, power, or high frequency engineering. I am a recent graduate.

    Understanding Residual Flux and Inconsistent Rotation in Stepper Motors

    Quick question: I have a stepper motor that is 0.25 degrees per step, and so 4 steps is required for a degree. When we pump 20 steps into it, it moves 5 degrees. However, if we go to pump another 20 steps into it right after that, it does not move 5 degrees. Is it possible that residual flux is...

    Low-Order Approximation of System

    The behaviour of the system will primarily be governed by the poles that are close the s-axis (relative to the pole at s=-3). The solution reduces the equation to 5/(12(s^2+0.1s+0.01)), but I was certain that it should be 5/(6(s^2+0.1s+0.01)). EDIT* I plotted it in MATLAB and determined that...

    Low-Order Approximation of System

    Homework Statement I have a pretty simple question. I was going over an older exam when I encountered something that did not quite make sense to me. If \frac{(2s+5)(-s+0.5)}{(s+3)(s^2+0.1s+0.01)}, find a low order approximation for the system. I understand that the pole at s=-3 can be...

    Newton's Method utilizing Mathcad

    That certainly fixed it! It definitely was redundant and unnecessary. Thanks! One other question: do you know a way of implementing Boolean OR in Mathcad? I want to remain in a while loop if any of 3 statements are true. This is rather easy in Matlab, but I am finding it difficult in Mathcad. I...

    Newton's Method utilizing Mathcad

    Homework Statement I am writing a simple program in Mathcad for Newton's Method. The function is x^3-5*x^2+3*x+4. The root is between 0 and 3, and we want a tolerance of 0.00001. My code is the exact same as a program I made in Matlab that works, but since I am new to Mathcad, I am getting an...
