The problem I have seen is related to harmonic current, but really is more easily understood in the time domain. Electronic power supplies, either linear or switched, draw large slugs of current when 50/60 Hz filter capacitor potentials drop two diode drops below line potential, at which time the

Hi John and Tania: Actually, the harmonic current problem is no different between Europe and North America. The basic problem is that the harmonic currents generated in the load equipment are dissipated in the delta primary of a delta-wye distribution transformer. If the harmonic content i

Dear Mr. Woodgate, Most people will never understand anything unless it is explained to them.. Merely stating that the power distribution in Europe and America is not the same, is not an explanation but could even be construed as a lofty put-down. If anyone out there can explain the difference

I got one too but some unpronouncable name and it contained the Magistr worm. Recognized by the title which contins the colured logo for VirusAlert. If you get it don't open it , just delete it. In spite of what Mr. Norton says Norton Anti Virus 2000 with all current updates doesn't catch it. R

Hi Richard: A number of good comments have been made. I'm not sure anyone covered the fact that two wires make a bundle, and therefore each single in that bundle must be derated. So, a single 10 AWG is good for 32 amps at 20 C. But, two 10 AWG wires in the same bundle are only good for 31

Hi George and Ravinder: We really like to discourage off-topic discussions, including virus warnings. Here are some points I'd like to make: 1. The IEEE majordomo listserver includes virus checking (for known viruses) of all messages posted to the listserver. IEEE virus checking
