    Exams!

    The College decided it would a good idea to do the C&G 2365 level II Electrical Installation Technology exam today and the Electrical Science exam tomorrow! :confused: So busy cramming formulas tonight! F=BIl, e=Blv, F=ma electrons, protons, left hand rule, class 3 levers, R=Rho.l/a blah blah...

    Not entirely sure what they are getting at with this question: A circuit has been poorly desgined for selectivity between an appliance fuse and a MCB protecting the entire final circuit. What is the most likely outcome should a single fault occur on the appliance? a: A fault would disconnect...

    Sizing an inverter.

    Are there any benefits of going for, say an 8kw inverter over a 5kw, with a solar PV and battery system? I assume a 5kw would pull additional power from the grid if demand exceeds 5kw, rather than just switching 100% to grid supply? I'd also assume that an 8kw inverter will be less stressed...

    Is tracking solar worth the hassle?

    We have about 3/4 of an acre of lawn and not much south facing roof so I am contemplating putting solar in the garden. I'm handy with the welder, so was thinking of mounting the panels onto a kind of long trailer type arrangment, so they can be moved around the lawn a bit. How worth while...
