    Do you charge per hour?

    You could install can lights in basements for more than 50 dollars an hour. You should sell your work for what it is worth. Your base salary at an employer is not what you get paid. Right off the bat you are compensated around 30% more in benefits. You as a small buisness will have overhead just...

    You have awesome enthusiasm. I don't know anything about structural integrity but, I think your interest coupled with an education would carry you far.

    Can AC and DC be grounded at the same ground rod?

    You have to consider that grounding and bonding are two different things. All electrical equipment consisting of conductive materials must be bonded to a common point. (2014 NFPA 70 250.6B) I belive you are talking about the grounding electrode system. All grounding electrodes must be bonded to...

    Example 54.3 from Power Reference Manual

    You are correct neither the conductor or the OCPD must be sized 125%. I also agree that you would not in this case multipy by 2 as it is 3 phase. There is such a beast as a high leg delta that is 240\120 that is 3 phase. Another interesting fact is that the propper way to designate this system...

    Any TRICK problems on exam?

    Sorry, I meant an electrical engineer would know those things. I am not trying to give you flack only to express that with patience you can learn those things as well.

    Any TRICK problems on exam?

    The two examples you gave would be obvious to an electrical engineer. The first describes a sign wave. The second is a motor rating. With the proper education and experience to qualify for the electrical PE. An engineer would know motor ratings are in rms and the relationship between a sign wave...

    New method of power generation landmark use of fusion

    You are clearly very enthusiastic about your ideas. That is great. Your proposal lacks key ideas and principles which make it impossible.
