Wikipedia, Electric Power System
(OP)
I have been browsing Wikipedia. I am impressed at how much good stuff it has on electric power systems. The site might be worth referring people to that have basic questions on how power systems work.

RE: Wikipedia, Electric Power System
I've looked at several EE topics there lately and not failed to be impressed. Their various power supply topics have been well done.
Example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_converter

I think they have a pretty good review process to make sure that garbage and incorrect info doens't make it in there. Wonder how long it will stay free?

The links in wiki have been selected by someone knowledgeable in the topic based on their judgement that they contain relevant and useful on-line info.
In contrast, you often have to sort through a lot of garbage on google if you're looking for useful links.

RE: Wikipedia, Electric Power System
Now most of my technical searches for anything result in the first 5 or 10 hits being two different patent scamming sites! I have no idea why Google thinks we want to see that every time or allows one or two sites to dominate unless they're allowing those sites to buy their way there, which would be pretty misleading.

You also puted attention on it.
For my pinion, this forum is best "google" for the EE topics.

Or does the truth always simply and only lie in the eye of the beholder?
