I'm currently enrolled in the BSEET program and recently found out there is
a huge difference between that and a BSEE degree.
But in order for me to enroll in the BSEE, I basically have to start over
and take 33 courses part time because they will not transfer over any of my

We are having a new home built and move in next week.  I went around to
each room and tested each outlet with a night light.  Out of the 70+
outlets about 8 did not light up the nightlight (all located within 2
rooms).  I brought it to the attention to the electrical technician and

Just to know from our teams.
When I was in secondy school, I try to understand why almost electronic
equipment have thier own life span or warranty. It is due to expansive
components or devices? Could we create by do some modification or else

I have a 115AH deep-cycle battery that I bought as a stand-by battery
for my amateur radio station. It has been in a "battery box" on
trickle-charge (using a charger with a "deep-cycle" setting) for most of
the time since I bought it over a year ago, and it has been called on to

Doing power system short circuit fault current analyzis? Need to

What is the transfer function for a low pass filter 1/(1+jwrc)?
Is the transfer function derived from the laplace transform of the gain?
Thankyou

Would anyone happen to know a source (for 1, not a thousand) for a 31 ohm
(or close) 5W resistor of the thru-hole variety?  It is as near as I can
tell what the trickle charge resistor used to be in my Porter Cable 8501
battery charger (an oldie).  (I may be overestimating what ...

Nice to see the e-mails on this active group. I am looking for some
literature and guidelines for sizing transformers for resistance spot
welders. I used Roman "TX select" software, but wanted to know more
about the theory. IS there any book or booklet or PDF file information

Should the kitchen sink be bonded to the cold water pipe ? is there
ever a reason when it doesn't need to be ?

Hi;
I am adding a small 8 x 20 ft room to my 4 bedroom 2 bath house. The new
room will contain a Jacuzzi tub and a small (< 8000 BTU) wall mounted AC
unit. This room will primarily be an exercise area.  My main service

Looking for a UK supplier of emergency fluorescent lighting 5ft fittings. To
be switched type as opposed to maintained/non-maintained. They work as a
normal light and switch to internal battery on power failure.
TIA

I have just installed an Generac automatic transfer switch (ATS) for my
house. I am going to use this with my portable generator. Everything
has been tested and works fine.
Obviously the portable generator does not have the connections to trip

In my Phase converter I took measurements of unloaded and loaded volts
and amps. Knowing that my loaded Amps on L3 is 1/4th of L1 and L2 can I
calculate the balanced capacitance needed from L1-L3 and L2-L3 ??
I know it can be done using trial and error using different capacitance
