Electrical Designer Guide

Design procedure, products and reference for electrical designers

Electrical Designer Guide

Welcome to the site. My background is an electrical designer in the oil and gas field. The purpose of the site is to share knowledge: design procedure, how to gather information and put it together, understanding the next step to accomplish your job, and finding the right products and reference material.

The longer reference pages are the ones worth starting with. If you are weighing up the career itself, how to become an electrical engineer sets out the training, the daily work and the earnings range. When a job needs hired help, finding an electrical contractor covers licensing, references and what to ask before agreeing a price, while the list of electrical companies gathers manufacturers and suppliers by category. For a sizing question on the bench, selecting an ac transformer explains which figures to collect first and where the fuse belongs.
