Im curious, do any of the qualified sparkys currently discussing on this topic know and understand ohms law? ie V=IR(electronics engineers please dont
answer). The reason i ask is from experience of dealing with auto electricians and qualified domestic electricians they dont understand it at all
which worries me cos its the fudermental laws of electricity .
Yes i do it was 1st year secondary school physics in my day.
The trouble is that although they still get it many of them don't take it in because they don't need to. You get all the volts, amps,
watts etc etc on most units/appliances now so you don't have to work anything out. Look up a chart for the selection and erection of equipment
and it tells you what size of cable and how long a run you can have etc etc
ETA Fazeruss does this mean your a competent prson who doe'sn't have a certifcate (like me). No offence meant just wondering which side of
the fence you are on (seeing as how I read you post as "electronics engineers ARE competent but MAY not have a certificate)

If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

I do wish people wouldnt use acronyms cos i aint a clue what they are saying sometimes!
im staying sat here on the fence, its rather comfy
Like a lot of locosters on here I have qualification in one field but with a bit of enthusiasm and reading can very professionally do most things
excluding brain surgery but give it time!

I saw a spark on another forum suggest that a loose connection gets hot because it draws more current. There are a lot of time served sparks who dont
understand the basics, and on the other hand a lot of '5 day wonders' who are lacking in experience.
You do need to know the basic equations. You can save money on cable if you can work out exactly what current you need to supply.

Ok, I have a BEng(hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. This means, i am competent of designing an Electrical circuit of any kind as i am
aware of the principles.
This qualification though, doesn't make me a competent electrician.
Does this mean that the electrician is a lot more qualified than me that did my degree at Uni and he did his at a college?
F**K sake and again F**k sake.
I am delivering ICT courses at a college, and lately, they asked me to start delivering a new qualification to learners which is
"HOW TO MOVE THE MOUSE ON A COMPUTER"
"F**K, i cannot do that, i do not have this qualification. I need training.

it is really easy. hold the mouse still and move the mat underneath it, 's was I do.
typing is the same, move the keyboard until the key you want is under you finger then kick your legs up - if the table is light enough, you press the
right key. it hurst after a while though so I wear knee pads.
