    We're Splitting Off! Advice on Negotiating Ownership

    That makes me think. If I get 25% of the profit from my projects, where does the other 75% go? I suppose to pay my salary and then pay the company\owners. If I am an owner, all of my profit is being split out where I get my ownership-proportioned amount back. The benefit would come in when...

    We're Splitting Off! Advice on Negotiating Ownership

    Thanks for all of the remarks. I have read over each one several times and have gained knowledge and perception with each reply. To update: I talked with my boss about a month ago. He's a minority owner but has been my only contact throughout the discussions. I laid out all of the reasons I...

There is a need for engineering firms to take on the level work like I...

    Old Pad mount transformer rated in kW

    I'm not familiar with a 7A "K". What I see are increments of 1, 2, 3, 6, 8A and so on. An 8A "K" should technically work unless you have a motor that is really, really eating up inrush current in the 290kVA range after 60 cycles. The fuse that transformer SHOULD be fused at is a 7A KS. I...
