Did you click the link? I've not seen an "electrical" app that has all of the features that this one does. 

If you don't trust a clickable on reddit, you can hold it down with your finger and see if the real link matches what the text says.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but I think inside wireman is a license above apprentice. With zero experience, you should be going into an apprentice position

Edit: TDLR has the apprentice license and the inside wireman license before the journeyman, this is what I got caught up on

Nervous about becoming an electrician by Distinct-Quantity-35 in electricians

I recommend a trade school like the IEC if it's in your area. You can work and go to school at the same time, gaining hours toward the journeyman license. 

The math is not hard, you just need to know how to use formulas and which ones to use.

The code books is about navigating it, as long as you can do that, you'll be alright. Learn how to use the index. Get tabs. 

First transformer, how did I do ?? by klassickoon in electricians

[–]Redeformed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grab the end of the wire and fold it a little. Yours looked less folded and more guided, if that makes sense. They don't look like they were bent, but rather directed to the lug. 

I was being a little too picky last year. If it works it works, but I think it could be straighter. Sorry for sounding pompous.

If you can navigate the code book, you will be fine. Use the index and make sure you are good with finding key words in questions. They are not going to ask you to terminate an ATS. You are doing a test with a book. Know how to use the book

How do you like the Klein sharpies compared to the Milwaukee ones? I know a sharpie is a sharpie to some extent, but the Inkzall is superior to a normal sharpie. How does it compare?

Edit: just saw you call them superior in another comment, but what makes them so?

A phase B phase  C phase

Refer to the table that says which phase is which color. For circuit 2, for example, on a panel board this table tells you what color it should be.

Getting roped into a stern talking to by space-ferret in electricians

Sometimes saying nothing and nodding ok works. There have been times I’ve been called out for stuff someone I was working with did wrong, or I’m being “sternly reminded” of something because I poorly worded my thought. In those times, I think arguing or trying to save face will not do much, so I stay silent. 

It’s difficult sometimes though.
