Electrical engineering job interview questions
Electrical engineering job interview questions are popular among fresher and experienced engineers. The best way in my opinion is to spend more time on your field of job. Read articles written by experts on the job you are presently in. This may give you confidence to face any interview board and answer questions on the work you are doing. It is also important to memorise the day to day measurements and data used in your job field.
But in some cases you have to answer questions from other subjects you are not well versed with. In this case you have to depend on websites and books alone. Here is a site where you can find Electrical engineering job interview questions and answers. Please visit: http://www.coolinterview.com/type.asp?iType=807

IEC 61850 Standard for Substation Automation
IEC 61850 is a standard for the design of electrical substation automation. IEC61850 is an important new international standard for substation automation that will have a very significant impact on how electric power systems are designed and built for many years to come. IEC61850 is a part of the International Electro technical Commission’s (IEC) Technical Committee 57 (TC57) architecture for electric power systems. IEC 61850 is a world-wide accepted standard for Ethernet-based communication in substations. It is important for an Electrical Engineer to know more about the structure and constitution of this standard.

Electrical engineering Community
Electrical engineering Community is a forum you must visit and register. This forum helps Electrical installation & energy management Sharing technical & practical tips to build an optimum energy system for today and tomorrow. You will find discussions on day to day subjects on Electrical Engineering. I am a daily visitor of this site. Please follow the link below:
Electricity Consumption by the Control System
Electricity Consumption by the Control System is an important factor in energy efficiency terms. A 400Ampere breaker consumes about 200 units of energy in an year! similarly the 5W indication lamp consumes about 50 units an year. So the ON OFF indication on a panel consumes 100 units an year. A control panel normally contain several indication lamps, coils etc. ( I am not considering the energy consumed by the long control cables). So it is important to address this problem while you design control circuits and control panels. On simple step towards energy efficiency of control panels is by selecting energy efficient components.
