    Bode Plots: Phase Angle is asymptotic to -180. What is the gain margin?

    What would be my gain margin if my phase angle doesn't cross -180? Thanks in advance

    Looking for an easy-to-understand explanation of 3 phase / 3 phase + N

    I have some questions about 3 phase. 1. Does the neutral come in with the supply as standard? 2. As most 3 phase equipment doesn't require an N, what are the circumstances where you need one? 3. When we do need one, why do we need one? 4. Am i right in presuming therefore that we'd mostly use...

    A bit of an embarrassing question. I have a regular customer who I enjoy working for. He has asked me to install an EV rapid charger for his avant loader (electric tractor type thing). I always turn down 3 phase jobs as I don't feel I understand it fully, but I'd like to do this job. I believe...

    3 phase board with 250A incomer

    Hi guys, if a 3 phase board is to be installed, with 250A mains. With 8 32A 3 phase sockets, 8 single phase 16A sockets, 2 light circuits and 3 phase 63A socket on it, that exceeds the 250A. I understand you would have to consider diversity factor etc into it but is that still too much or would...
