Big difference between Electrical & Electronics...

There is a huge difference between the Electrical
& the Electronics industry and methods. I have been
an electrical contractor/electrician for 26 years. Some
of the answers in here are very funny.

Don't ask engineers to give you info on general
electrical or installation help. If you ask them how
to change a light bulb, you will get 50 different
answers & someone will write a long response
telling what kind of material the filament is made
out of.

Fancy a rubber glovin ?

 You should examine the argument on filament "heat" output.

People tend to think that being an Electrician is a subset of being an
Electrical Enginer, and therefore everything the Electrician knows
that Enginner should also know.  Taint so.    They are two totally
different things.  Well, there's overlap but not as much as you might
think.  

An electrican is trained to install, replace, troubleshoot, repair.

An engineer is trained to analyze, design, develop, test.

An engineer does NOT learn the following in college:  soldering,
wiring a house, troubleshooting a control panel, bending conduit.

 And here I'd thought that I had seen it all.

As the "Bwuahahahahah..." kid failed to appreciate, I was not being
condensending towards electricians.  Just the opposite.  In years past
I worked with electricians, and any engineer with any sense at all
listens real hard to what they have to say, because what they learn in
their trade, and being hands on with equipment the engineer usually
only sees in a catalog, is knowledge the engineer usually doesn't
have.  My point is the opposite, that electricians for some reason
think the engineers should know both jobs, and that just is not
usually the case.

  I never said you were, dipshit.
