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

With a little bit of fine tuning I think he will do just fine lol. Nice to see someone wants to work and get on.

True. I remember my first day at college - we were all sat in a room while the tutors stood behind tables at the end of the room and put us in our places before we'd even had a chance to say anything. Same for the rest of the first year - say anything out of place and you'd get shot down in flames in front of the class.

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

Completley off topic....That is so true, next time you see someone on this forum refer them selfs as a PAT engineer...will you please reply with that lol. Does my head in.

That said, I've known some BEng graduates who didn't know one end of a spanner from the other. Not just about qualifications.

There is only one man worthy of the title "engineer"

Casey Jones and he was a train driver lol

That is true, i dont agree to these people saying that they are engineers with no experience within an engineering position. Just because you know it on paper doesnt necessarily mean you can perform well in a practical situation. Im lucky to have completed a 3 year modern apprenticeship, which has given me experience and the quals within that period. But its a catch 22 experience, most engineering positions request thatyou have a degree in the adequate field and also a minimum period of experience, usually 2-3 years. Which is pretty hard to achieve fresh out of uni. So on the unexperience side that you mention guitarist, i completely agree that just because it says you are capable on paper, doesnt mean that your not as yellow as a custard coloured cornsnake.
