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

Well what I'm talking about is talk down to me just because your a " respected member" and I'm a trainee, it doesn't me that I'm asking questions on here I'm just try a to get more info.

I didn't "talk down" to you, I said you shouldn't have been let in the arms without being an electrician.
You launched an attack on me, not the other way around.
Remember you're the one who wants the information, not me. Nobody wants to help some know-it-all kid with a bad attitude.

sorry MDJ, the "not quite" wast aimed at your post.

 

[StePugh]

Yeah I have already done some on my last course it was like voltage =V =I x R

'Run before you can walk' and 'sink before you can swim' come to mind. Don't take offence but, be careful, you're getting well out of your depth.

Well I'm the one with Certs and started the course and the job just as I turned 16

I stand by my original statement, whatever you think. You may have a certificate in alarm installation, but I think the term "engineer" is bandied about far too much these days (along with technician).

Might be prudent to sign this - Arse, it's closed!

Make 'Engineer' a protected title - e-petitions

 

[sheepysheephead]

Id agree with guitarist, in my book you arent an 'engineer' unless you have a bachelors degree in engineering? BEng? thats what i was led to believe anyway. My job description is at present as a test 'engineer', although i only have a HNd in electrical and electronic engineering.

But on the other hand I have done installation courses within the 5 years plus ive been in college studying engineering, but still a lot to learn on the domestic front. So im slowly building up my knowledge and experience just doing basic installations.

Dont worry guys ive done my 17th, Part p and booked in for my 2394 in June! Stoked to get into the domestic trade!

and Ohms law is when the Voltage is proportional to the Current multiplied by the Resistance. Or when the current is proportional to the voltage divided by resistance:

V=IxR or I=V/R

...assuming a constant temperature. Daz

 

[sheepysheephead]

Of course, but that is the case with all standard algebrae.

 

[DPG]

Important to bear in mind though. Otherwise people try making ohms law work with cold/hot light bulbs/heater elements, etc. Daz

 

[sheepysheephead]

Thats correct daz, very much so. I dont really have to associate temperature change within my usual working environment due to it being within temperature controlled environment

 

[Stroppy]

Stoked to get into the domestic trade!

Why? Its a bleedin' nightmare!

 

[sheepysheephead]

I think its more of a change of scenery stroppy, pkus ive always wanted to be self employed and always wanted to be a domestic sparky. Not sure why its just that its always appealed to me!

 

[Guitarist]

Being a domestic sparky is great if you like to constantly give people bad new...

 

[bartkusal]

V=IxR, and all that, innnn ittt.......

sorry had a couple of stelas and tried to get into the groove with OP
