    Harmonic Distortion Abbreviation

    Interesting. Seems odd that they wouldn't just use RMS for the English version to avoid confusion.

    Jr Eng Needing advice @ consulting job

    No one here will admit it but sometimes it is a common practice to mislead or overstate immediate opportunities for fresh outs when they are interviewing to get someone to fill a vacant position. It's the same all the way to the bottom(retail). One of my first jobs they said I could move to...

    Harmonic Distortion Abbreviation

    I have an output from Dranview showing harmonic distortion in a three-phase system. the system consists of motors fed from single phase drives, protected by breakers, and the breakers have been 'randomly' tripping. My term in questions is VTHDRss. There is a voltage vs time graph showing the...

    Calculating the cost of motor starting

    Are you sure the demand is averaged over a time span? I thought the old style meters just had a KW dial with one fixed and one floating pin for demand. So the fixed pin would push the floating pin to whatever max occurred over the time period. Then the meter reader would reset the floater for...

    Mediocre vs Top Notch university

    IRstuff pretty much summed it up in my opinion. Star.

    Tedium

    I would much rather have someone with headphones than someone with a radio/etc. Of course I may be biased as I often use headphones, especially when working on tedious things. Though I keep them low enough to hear the overhead paging system(even though I know I will never be paged), and even...

    Expired License

    This topic leads to a question I have. Currently I am interning at an engineering contracting firm(I have about 3 semesters left of school). When it comes to things such as my signature in an email, am I able to refer to myself as a "student engineer"? It was suggested to me that this would...

    Junction/Pull Box

    So, all four gave you the correct answer, but that isn't good enough? Geesh, what do you want? I was more confirming that this was the right answer, as the four people I talked to responded pretty hesitantly and without much confidence in their voice at all.

    Junction/Pull Box

    Sort of in reference to a previous topic thread249-203918 at my company when doing electrical installations for industrial customers we have been buying UL 50 Junction boxes from a local supplier to use as a pull box for running wire through out the building. Do these boxes need to be UL...

    ME or BME masters

    My school doesn't have a formal biomedical department, but in the electrical department there are a few scholar team/student project groups that relate to biomedical.

    First time buyer(for lack of a better wording)

    I just recently started working for a company that does a lot of contracted work. We recently had a company ask us to build them some UL certified junction boxes(in accordance to UL 50), and after navigating through the UL site for a few hours, I have a few questions about the process that...
