Yeah I'm using that on all my receptacles for now on. Very clean.
This method also changes the ckt to parallel. In parallel ckts the device can fail and usually will not disable the whole ckt as it will in series
Very cool

@Lebens finishing up HVAC school in Feb (18 months). U have any general advice for me? Any areas of the trade i should stay away from, go toward? Im getting straight As but there is just so much to know, areas to go, I feel disoriented. Any advice id greatly appreciate it
@REVNAT/PA bro general advice from another tradesman, I went to trade school for machine tool and now I'm a carpenter, and I specialize in historic preservation. Try everything in your field, and find what you enjoy then find the guys who will pay you the most haha
I recommend targeting residential service companies
Start as an installer. Move up to tech.
Move up to sales tech
Spend some time learning the business and start contracting
^^^ becoming the contractor is the endgame!
Yes sir
@Deleted User @Lebens how long does it take to become a certified electrician?
It varies from state-to-state. you have X amount of hours in the field and some State accredited school. An engineering degree will provide the requirement for time in the field. At that point you're eligible to test for your Master's license
Your time in the field roughly works out to 4 years
Ty
Yes sir
In cali they verify your ss records for hours. Plus 4-5 years of school
An Apprentice thats brand new makes half of jm wages. So if jm make 50 you make 25 and it goes up every year.
I'm an electrical engineer
Can I skip the school?
Again I believe it varies upon state but yes your school degree he is applicable towards a certain portion of the requirements. It should go towards the schooling portion of it
