Lighting circuits and the switching?!

[StePugh]

I'm learning the trade and I'm curious to how general switching to pendants operate and what's the principles and theoretical views post diagrams too if you could

I mean I'm an apprentice who works for a company asking some questions !

That's not what you said - you said

Judging by your posts you started this is all you do!

.
What do my previous posts or what I do have to do with you being allowed in the Arms?

 

[StePugh]

Because I have proven I work for an electrical company and also have several qualifications in alarm engineering that's how and now I'm a trainee spark.

What part of your alarms course defines you as an 'engineer'? I'm not an engineer and I've been installing alarms and electrics since 1998. Not having a go pal, but do you see what I mean?

 

[StePugh]

That's how my college lecturer referred to it as it was a course I'm Birmingham that was called skills for security and They trained alarm engineers mate I dunno if I have the correct terminology how else would you refer to it?

 

[ipf]

Haha I know but what use would it be talking to other trainees you need to talk to experienced people.

There would be some help for learners, but I would have thought that would go without saying. A bit of thought, maybe.

It's clear now :L

I'm 18 and I'm a fully qualified alarm engineer and fit alarms regular and now i want to become an fully qualified electrician to the 17th edition and I'm gonna start college in September and I don't have my own business I work for an electrical company who I fit alarms for and I am also learning the electrical trade.

Good on you lad for trying to get up and running ready for your college time

The basics will be taught,but there is little wrong with trying to get a head start

Well done on chosing the college route. it is always the best way to progress with your electrician career
Your installation skills with the alarms will help you more than most others on your course

What will not help,at least as far as this forum is concerned,is being sarcastic to a respected member

Good luck on the electricians course, and well done for doing some research before hand, keep it up if you can.
You might also want to do a little swotting up on ohms law, basic maths (if need be) etc, as this will also pay dividends on your course.

That still doesn't answer my question.

Thanks appreciate it this is all I wanted to hear stuff like that, cheers ohms law are cable calls that dictate the size of cable needed and stuff like volt drop and clipped direct or buried in insulation and all that's isn't it?

???? Eh?

 

[StePugh]

Ohms law is that all your cable calcs that dictate the size of cable needed like volt drop current and resistance all come into play and depending where the cable is laid as in clipped direct or buried in wall and stuff like that

really, lets discuss it together, Ohms law states that the current in a conductor is in proportion to the ????? providing the temperature remains ????

 

[babylonsBurning]

Not quite, it states the relationship between Voltage, resistance and current, it would be one of the first things you learn on your course, along with series and parallel resistor circuits.
