	Subject - I need some help on my homework. Moulder I am going to school to be a machinist but one of the required classes I must take is electrical systems. Things of this nature are not one of my strong points and to make things worse I had to take this class as an independent study course. I have some questions to answer and the text book I have is almost useless (it is useful as a paper weight). If anyone could help me out taht would be great. If you can answer any of these questions put the number of the question and then the anwer. (I started with # 10 because I did get some of them answered) 10. Why use a grounded system? 11. What is the adbantage of using an ungrounded system? 12. Where should the service ground be placed? 13. Describe how to wire an outlet? 14. How many outlets can go on one circuit? 15. If GFCI is used where should it be placed in the circuit? 16. What areas should GFCI outlets be placed? 17. Describe how to wire romex to the service? 18. Describe how to wire a two switch lighting circuit using three way switches? Bonus: What do you do to an outlet so you can wire half of it switched? JimmyDee If I have miss-read your intentions in this, I'm sorry. I've taught industrial electricity at the community college level and the amount of material that is covered by the questions here look like an entire semester of learning. This looks more like an exhaustive take home test to me. I know if I were the teacher, I would be upset if someone did one of my students take home test for them. Like I said, if I have miss-read this I'm sorry. Maybe someone else will help. Jim Moulder No this isn't for a test. It is in a packet of worksheets that it teacher gave me to do. I have compleated 12 chapters of questions in the above mentioned book. Well I finished what I could of each chapter. The book is great if you already know what you are doing but not too good if you are a feller like me. This may sound corney but I don't learn a thing by reading, I find that I learn by listening to a lecture and hands on. I have used this book for basic electronics (dc circuits and mainly calculating amps, volts, ohms, and watts). Thank you for your reply. I would never have someone do a test for me. Like I said above I have already done some of them myself. wireman Moulder, anyone can learn from reading. Maybe what you need is a book that is written in a format closer to layman's terms. Pick up Residential wiring, a textbook by Thomson/Delmar. It covers these subjects in a easy to understand language. It covers complete wiring of a house with all the bells and whistles to the 2002 code book. Electricman The book wireman talks about should answer ALL of your questions Order # 0-7668-3285-6 lots of diagrams,this should help.
