Q:I have a 2000 Monte Carlo SS that is stock, as in no aftermarket radio/electrical equipment and the fuse for the a/c and cruise. I noticed it popped when I bought the car and each time i put the same size fuse in or a bigger one, it automatically pops. I pulled the dash apart and all of the connections are good so I'm not sure of where to go.

You have a bare wire somewhere touching metal. That is the only reason a fuse will pop. It#x27;s a pain in the a** to find, but that is the only way you can fix it. Don#x27;t put a bigger amp fuse in! That is a sure way of setting your car on fire.

Q:Can someone tell me more about this MOS or others that relate to this field of work. Also, how will a soldier be utilized under this MOS. thank you

Well you won't be a Soldieryou will be a Marine 1142 is a High Tech JobElectronicsCircuit boards and the like Great Background in Electronics for a Civilian Career Do not waste your Time in the CorpTake every Electronics course you can Go to Night School and stay out of the Bars and Strip Joints I was a Sgt 1141/42 in Vietnam Earned an EE Degreeowned a successful Business now RetiredX2 You will be assigned to a Utilities Platoon (Extremely Few in Numbers) Within an Engineering Battalion Probably the Least numbers of Marines in any Outfit Must Maintain and Repair any and all Electrical Generators and Pumpswithin the Command you are assigned to ie: 7th Engrs was assigned to the 1st MarDiv in Vietnam Maybe assigned to an MEB aboard shipFMF and make Landings and set up your equipment SEMPER FI !!!!

Q:Context:Unrated electrical equipment in the dust handling equipment and area could act as an ignition source, which would result in a fire or an explosion for the dust handling equipment or rooms.

It refers to both the equipment and the area.

Q:I'm a freshman in college in electrical engineering. I chose this major at random and so far, I hate it. I have no idea what people in my major CAN do, so when I go to job fairs, I look clueless to everyone there. The worst part is that I AM clueless. I've had companies ask me, what can you do for us? and I don't know what to tell them! Please help.

Engineering is all pretty much the same, regardless of what one builds. Consider mechanical engineering. One can either build cars or fix cars. Being able to design engines takes a master's degree at least. Fixing cars can be something done with a trade school Associates degree. This is basically the difference between electricians and electrical engineers. Obviously there are many more jobs for the electricians. There is commercial contracting or residential service or any combination of the two. Of course, you will spend your career wiring circuit breakers and very little else. To get an idea of what an actual electrical design engineer does, take apart anything electrical. All those little chips are entire circuit boards. The little metal legs are power inputs and signal inputs/outputs. Larger circuits are built up from the chips. One has to be able to read the data sheet on the chip and then be able to build a circuit around it. This is far more complicated than replacing blown fuses and explains why design engineers need masters degrees or (preferably) PHD's. If you like building things and are comitted enough to endure the many semesters of math and physics required (besides the electrical engineering itself) then design engineering is going to be both enjoyable and very profitable. Of course, becomming a technician first and then furthering one's education is another route to becomming an actual designer. Remember, besides science, economics is also an issue and education is incredibly expensive in America because people refuse to fund affordable public education with tax increases.

Q:Hi we are going on holiday to Brazil and staying at the Super Club Breezes Hotel in Costa De Sauipe where they have 220 v AC but while we are in Brazil we are planning on also visiting Rio and Iguassu Falls where we understand they have 110 v AC. What exactly will we have to buy and take with us so that we can use UK hair dryers, phone chargers and other assorted electrics. Thanks AJ

Hi there. I moved to Brazil from England. First off I had to change the plugs on all appliances because the width between the pins was not the same. Then I needed converters for 220v to 110v and each one is so heavy it requires both hands to lift it. Just getting an adapter plug is no good if you need the converter as well. I would just forget about bringing any appliances from England. Most hotels have a hair dryer in the bathroom. For the phone charger the hotel might be able to provide a converter. Not worth carting one around. Incidently I have stayed at Sauipe and your hotel is a very good one.Enjoy your holiday!

Q:I want to use scientific equipment that will measure the electrical conductivity of water. I only want to electrocute the water and measure the current as a last resort.

Use Conductivity Meter.

Q:I accidentally connected the negative and positive terminals of my battery with a wrench, I have checked all the fuses and none look to be blown. What else should I be looking for?

Your looking for a melted fuseable link-- noy a fuse. It will look like a burned wire

Q:I sold a small bit of electrical equipment to a guy in Norway - I'm in the UK.Item became faulty after a month - I said I would refund him but I had spent the cash already and couldn't repay him back in one go. Item was returned.He agreed that I could pay it up ?899 over 4 years as I'm just a student and not working full time. It was sent in his currency and ?899Trouble is he is now claiming I've not just to pay ?899 back but the amount is to be much more in GBP's as the pound as got weaker against his currency although he stated he wouldn't add any interest on. Any advice?

Well it isn't your fault that the currency is more or less. Do you have anything in writing? You may want to check what laws are on the books but he can't just change the price on you

Q:has to do with electrical control

NFPA 70 has to do with safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment. The National Electrical Code (NEC), or NFPA 70, is a United States standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment. It is part of the National Fire Codes series published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). National Electrical Code and NEC are registered trademarks of the NFPA. While the NEC is not itself a U.S. law, NEC use is commonly mandated by state or local law, as well as in many jurisdictions outside of the United States. The NEC codifies the requirements for safe electrical installations into a single, standardized source. The authority having jurisdiction inspects for compliance with these minimum standards.

Q:If a 3 phase motor is driving a load say a gear box, compressor, or fan (Non Electrical piece of equipment) Does the load in this case gear box, compressor, or fan required a safety ground? The motor has its own safety ground

If there is no electrical connections to them then grounding is optional.
