All About Circuits is one of the world’s largest and most active independent online communities for electrical engineers. Founded in 2004 with only a forum and open-source textbook, AAC has grown over the years into a thriving community of engineers collaborating and sharing expertise. AAC provides resources and facilitates discussion amongst EEs to provide real-world solutions to the challenges they face today. Whether you’re learning RF design, honing your PCB layout skills, figuring out Verilog, or looking for inspiration for your next design, AAC is your home for technical information, news, and tools. AAC provides free access to technical resources for engineers around the globe, including tools, guides, textbooks, and technical articles. These resources are built from the ground-up to educate both engineers who are new to the industry and those who are looking to continue their professional development. The featured resources cover the topic of analog, auto, connectors, digital ICS, electronmechanical, embedded, IoT, and Passives.
Discussing some of the fascinating engineering that goes into overhead electric power transmission lines. In the past, power generating plants were only able to serve their local areas. As power plants grew larger and further away from populated areas, the need for ways to efficiently move electricity over long distances has become more and more important. Stringing power lines across the landscape to connect cities to power plants may seem as simple as connecting an extension cord to an outlet, but the engineering behind these electric superhighways is more complicated and fascinating than you might think.
