Electricians ( short cut ) terms

[Lplate]

Evening all,

Does anyone around has a list of common electrician terms when it comes to installation. I am an adult learner and I was always stock when my mentor talk to me in short or abbreviation term, e.g IMO, DB. etc. It would be a big help if anyone can share some for me.

thank you all,

have a nice evening,

Lplate

This might come as a silly question, why don’t you ask if it’s a term you’re unsure of? If you don’t ask it will be assumed you know and it will keep cropping up.

Things like FUBAR cropped up all the time in our shift reports.
