    Test Equipment Resources

    Hi SparkyMike I have not had a play with the new Flir hand held/torch style camera. So i can't say if the fusion stuff is unique to the visir camera, maybe you can let me know. Cheers

    Test Equipment Resources

    Yeah I have had a play with the FLUKE camera; I was at SPIE in Florida a year back and watched a presentation by FLUKE.

    The automatic RCD testing on the MFT1553 is worth its weight in gold, especially on long cable runs. Saves having another body on the job and my legs!!

    That's got my vote too, I love Paris. You have the small winding streets the fantastic buildings and history. You could take your missis up the eiffel tower (that's not euthamism). Take a trip up the winding streets Montmartre, one of the most breath taking views you will see is the the view...

    2391 advice

    I have just done the 4 day course, but I already had the 15th Edition, I have been out of the game for a few years. If I was doing it from scratch, I would have chosen the 10 week course, there is a lot of stuff to get through in 4 days. I found this book very good; it takes you through...

    what is the total power

    I had a crackin diagram, with stick figures, dancing girls and a whole stage full of kids singing. Sorry you will have to settle with my ascii crap!! The Dancing girls looked brilliant, each one had a Resistor 6, 7, 8 9 and 10 ohms!! Damn my scanner!!

    what is the total power

    Bloody scanner Right 1/(1/6 + 1/7) = 3.23 ohms ish 1/(1/9 + 1/10) = 4.7 ohms ish 8 ohms add the three 15.9 about 16 ohms Right I = V / R P = V * I Substitute I You get P = V * V/R which is V^2 (V squared) divided by R so 50^2/ 16 = 156.2 Watts Hope that helps I Hate scanners!!

    if R1 and R2 are in parallel R4 and R5 and in parallel and R8 is in series with those then I would say that the total power is 156.25 watts or there about

    current & force fomulas

    To get the formula for 1 divide both sides by B*L So you have F=B*I*L dividing both sides by B*L you get F/B*L = B*I*L / B*L B and L on the left right side cancel out so you get F/B*L = I stick in the numbers 15/0.25*0.5 = 120A Questing 2 is just plugging in the numbers F=B*I*L 0.3 *...

    Hey up!

    Hi I have been a sparky for about 19 years, went to pursue other interests about 5 - 6 years ago. But once it's in your blood, there ain't nothing you can do. So just sorted my 17th out and I is back. I only joined yesterday and this seems to be one top place. Cheers

    A pure resistance acts the same on AC circuits (RMS) and DC circuits A capacitor is made up of two metal plates separated by insulation. A capacitor responds to the rate of change of voltage across the plates, which is the frequency of the AC circuit, this is called capacitive reactance and...
