practical exam theory
 

mmm the dreaded theory side
i would guess that 90% of us have forgotten 90% of what we learned at tech,

so the reason behind this thread is a sort of revision of what we already know

so i`ll start of with DOL starters and a wiring diagram if you what info / wiring diagrams please ask via PM /email otherwise this thread will be chocker with chit chat and it`ll slow down others wanting info


SO DOL starters and a wiring diagram

Re: practical exam theory
 

what exam is this?? I thought I just needed to do the wiring regs course and get me ARTC??:curse: I think if I have to jump through any more hoops I'll just go home and earn some much needed cash:huh:

Re: practical exam theory
 

some theory formulae that may be useful

Electrical Formulae

Re: practical exam theory
 

Parallel and series circuits formulae

Capacitances in Parallel
When capacitances C1, C2, C3, ... are connected in parallel, the total capacitance CP is:
CP = C1 + C2 + C3 + ...

Capacitances in Series
When capacitances C1, C2, C3, ... are connected in series, the total capacitance CS is:
1 / CS = 1 / C1 + 1 / C2 + 1 / C3 + ...

Resistances in Parallel
When resistances R1, R2, R3, ... are connected in parallel, the total resistance RP is:
1 / RP = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3 + ...

Resistances in Series
When resistances R1, R2, R3, ... are connected in series, the total resistance RS is:
RS = R1 + R2 + R3 + ...

For those who need to study again,

i have found this site which may benefit!

Re: practical exam theory
 

it's supposed to be 20 working days or 4 weeks so you must be close. I was kinda hoping mine would be quicker but it seems 4 weeks is the minimum

Re: practical exam theory
 

Jamie, even when you get your ARTC Cert, you will have to apply to Department of Energy at Severn Oaksfor temp licence, you will need to sit a 4hour practical Exam at Balga TAFE and pass it, prior to sitting the 2 hour regs exam.

Re: practical exam theory
 

C'mon Steve, calm down, that's the way threads work in forums like this, they do stray OT every so often, nothing you can do about it.

I do see your point though, and would suggest that maybe you guys would be better starting a new thread if you have questions, or if you just want to chat, that way you can all try and keep this thread as a source of into about the original topic. ;)

Re: practical exam theory
 

Can't believe your over there living the dream but yet your still helping others to reach theirs. just goes to show there's still some good people out there! Thanks steve'o for all your help.
I have printed off these leads for my OH to look through (well us wife's have to do something don't we) Can I just ask they are all nesassary for the general electricians aren't they as I don't want him looking at things that aren't relevent as I think they have enough to look at don't they!
Thanks again Karan.

Re: practical exam theory
 

no these are required only when you get here;) mostly for the licence course /exam and then as every other aussie trained spark you can throw them away and do what you like ( or so it would seem at times )

Re: practical exam theory
 

Hi Steve,do you have to buy the books if you do the course via correspondance and/or are they free if you do the course on campus?

Re: practical exam theory
 

sorry mate nowts free over here ;)
