week hrs/ reflections on learning

9 hrs in class
20 hrs at work

Understanding and  troubleshooting electrical issues is very important.  I have learned this now that i am doing this at both school and work.  I learn more and more everyday. I look forward to learning more this next week.  Figuring out the lightboards was challenging especially with a poor schematic. Being able to see things clearly makes all the difference, and trusting your meter and numbers to be correct.

Building a relay tester

Documentation of building a relay tester in class.  The job itself wasn't to challenging but hooking up the lightbulb, fuse and relay together took some thinking



Week hrs/electrical

12 hrs in class
28 hrs at work
Total: 40 hrs

The pictures are me trying to figure the lighting boards at the Btc shop.  Trying to understand where everything goes with a little schematic was very challenging.  The other pictures are of a real life electrical problem.  The 4 ways would stop blinking every 10th blink. Also I got day three sheet done

Servicing

When servicing I always look for rubbing hoses, loose bolts, cracks in the frame, broken parts, leaks etc. But also I have learned by bringing all my tools to the rack and combining tasks I can get done faster which is more efficient.  There is a balance between speed and quality of work
