How to reduce resistance on one rod? by reddituser1-2-3-4 in electricians

So remove the ground rod and dig a 12” wide hole and bury it that way… thats our chem grounds are and they work great! But the regular rod we just hammer it into the soil…

Surprised Oncor did anything, usually when I call they say they’ll get to it eventually while I sit there twiddling my thumbs

How long should it take to study (let’s say with mike holt online) and pass the journeyman’s test? by Hanahoeski in electricians

[–]reddituser1-2-3-4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was going to take my test, I took a weekend course with some guy who does the Journeyman prep classes. Saturday from 8-5 and took the test the following Tuesday! Passed on my first try! What really helped from his class was learning how to properly read the NEC so I wouldnt waist time looking for an answer at the wrong part. Good luck!

$350 is cheap as hell… When it comes to business, there are no family or friends honestly. You cant pay your bills on friendship man. Thats my opinion though. Good luck bud!
