1. What did you study when you were in high school? (if you went) to...
I embarrassed that don't remember this but swallowing some pride is sometime good for a person. I am wiring a 3 phase in-line water heater and the manufacturer lists the current draw at 177A. at 480 volts, (144kw). Would that be per phase rating or would that be just the total. I was thinking...
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has completed the SJIB’s CEC scheme? How did it go, and how strict were they regarding your previous qualifications. I’m looking to make a career change and would like to become an approved electrician if possible.

Many thanks in...
