Oh good, I passed the exam originally with one attempt so I’ll re-take it with those added questions real soon. Thanks for the clarification.

PS Unit 8 is really fundamental and I could use the extra mental exercise. Really appreciate you guys effort to improve the course on the fly.

That makes sense. Since we know what you carry, do have any idea what your total pack weight is?

As a tech newbie but a professional appliance installer, we give away our customers’ used appliances to a neighborhood junk guy. Try salvaging what you need from appliance store directly or become friendly with a store’s scrap metal junk guy for the bits and pieces you need.

Hey, Master Samurai thanks for the clarification.

I really didn’t want to go much further in the Fundamentals course until I cleared up this and several other questions concerning electricity, circuits, electronics, schematics, etc.

This is one reason I think I have a future as a service tech – you guys recognize where the industry is heading and where the training needs to be.

As an installer of appliances, I see every season appliances more complicated with electronics and how electricity used. If you don’t know these fundamental concepts, you won’t go very far as an effective and reliable technician.

Okay I got it now. Though I did have to prove my thought process through the AC/DC Construction Kit and build that circuit in the question.
I was mashing things up a bit with trying to combine all the loads together and not looking specifically at each load in respect to each point of where the voltage is present and if any other load was in series with it.
Thanks for the help.
