" oops" is coming whenever opening above forum.It is not active to
read list and threads.
I sent e-mail to them but no response. Anyone can guide how to fix it.

Dear Reader:
I am currently looking for entry level electrical engineer
opportunities.  I am a recent graduate in Master of Electrical
Engineering at Cornell University.  In my work, I concentrate on

I enclosed some space under my house.  Because of the flood zone I'm in, I'm
not allowed to put electrical supplies below the flood line.  This means
that I have to keep the outlets at about the bottom of the above floor
joists.  (Which is only about 6'6" from the 'basement' floor.) ...

Recently, there has been discussion on when a generation source should
island iteslf from the grid.  So far, there seem to be two schools of
thought, and the two camps seem to be fairly adament about their
positions.  I was wondering whether there might be some thoughts from

Even though I'm thoughroly familiar with the typical 200 amp electrical
service we use in American homes, I've often wondered what kind of
electrical services exist in other parts of the world. As most of you
probably know, the US uses 120v 60 cycle for the regular plug loads (i.e.

I was just wondering if anyone knew if this:
GEC Alstom T&D, Protective Relays: Application Guide, 3rd ed., Stafford, UK, 1987.
is available in electronic form anywhere?
If not, is there anything comparable that I can download somewhere?

I work for a Midwest hospital that is implementing an electronic
medical record.  We are planning to roll-out wireless carts to our
nurse units.  (The wireless cart will be a thin client device, with
flat panel monitor mounted onto it with wireless NIC.)  We anticipate

I am trying to determine if the 2002 National Electrical Code, nfpa 70, requires
the removal of old, abandoned in place equipment.  Can anyone point me to
the article/section.

Can anyone tell me how many watts a 100A home service panel provide?  I do
not want to exceed the maximum allowable load.

I am looking for an inexpensive (<$15 ea in 100qty) method to detect the
presence of line AC in a single, large gauge wire and close a small
signal switch (fet, bipolar, or) when current is present. The following
criteria apply:

I am building a woodshop in a 2 car detached garage.  I think i have 1 115V
circuit into it from the house.  I would like to have at least one,
preferrably 2, more circuits running into the garage.  I would hate to trip
a breaker with my circular saw and have the lights shut off.

Just found this in the Akron Beacon Journal (OHIO)
Two questions:  What is a light emitting resistor?
                       Is it simular to a SED?   ;-)

I have an old house (about 60 years) and a few of my plugs are still the old
2 prong.  I'm about to replace them with 3 prong outlets, and I have a
question or three.
What's a good and sure way to ensure I have a good ground with the conduit

Would a 700 watt inverter be a good idea for running a gas furnace from
car in an emergency?
The furnace has a .25 hp motor and would only need this in the winter,
although we have not had a problem in about 5 years.

Hi..........I am a recent graduate and looking for a job.  I know Resumes
make the most impact in finding a job,  So I have attached my resume for you
to view and to give me feed back and any improvements I could make so
suggestions on anything I should add on ,,,   thinks like that ...
