Do you think it helped you any??


Well it has. I wouldn't know what I know now even if it isn't on your level without doing the course. How could any Tom dick and Harry understand the calc procedure without doing the course. I know I wouldn't off. So yes, I believe it has helped me a lot.
 
By the way did I mention that I have already connected probably over 10 machines for the same factory. Ranging from 2.5mm cable up to 25mm cable. Some machines are same physical size as this one that I was going to do and they do the same work. The only time they called back was when a machine was tripping. I set overload at 7kw. The motor rating was 7. So I changed the overload to 4-10kw and adjusted it to tiny bit over 7 which fixed the problem. All this was done over the last 5-6 years. I've also done conveyer belts. Forklift chargers. A few of the bigger machines I've done cost them around a million each.

I thought you said earlier that you had not done this type of work before, never done the calcs and didn't have a clue.
Do try to be more consistent.
