Packard 6hrs

I really enjoyed the the open house at Packard.I took some pictures and will post soon.I learned how extensive the testing is and why they do build the best trucks in the world.I asked a lot of questions,and learned alot .Great expo.

Electrical sinking in after lots of practice 100 hrs

 Voltage is the force that moves Electrons  through a circuit and  is measured in volts using a voltmeter.

The flow of electrons is called electric current there are two types of electric current AC for alternating current and DC for direct current.

  Amperage describes the rate of current flow which is measured by an  amp meter.Low current flow creates  low heat and high current flow high heat Current capacity increases by wire size Bigger wire more current, smaller wire less current

.Resistance describes how much a component restricts current flow.The greater the resistance the less current flows the less resistance the greater the current flow and it  is measured in ohms,with an ohm meter.

Conductors  are most metals  example aluminum copper iron ,

Last week was definitely a brain warmer as I practiced the boards. I realized that it was starting to sink in and I was using the process of elimination. Electrical can be difficult but don't over think it.That's what Einstein said .

We worked on electrical for 8hrs

I learned to find short circuits

Spring Quarter

My reflection of electrical diagnosis, I must say I did have a brain surge today.
