Heh heh ... I'm a (retired) EE.

So that's funny.

BTW, if you know anything about electrical engineers, they
typically don't learn anything practical (in school) about
home wiring.

It's all about poles and zeros and Kirchoff's law and
fourier transforms and delta/Y transformers and Spice
simulations and diffusion doping and Maxwell's equations
and Coulomb's law and Faraday's Law and Ohm's law,
and c=dv/dt and phase diagrams and polar plots,
and cascade versus cascode configurations and
emitters and gates, etc.

Nothing whatsoever about typical mains wiring.

Ohm's Law and all the rest of the basics don't apply to how to debug
what amounts to a fancy switch? Good grief.

Isn't *that* what he's saying, and why he is asking questions? Jezus!

I guess you missed the part where he said he's an electrical engineer.
