Ground Clamp Differences

[Grayson Klassen]

In this part of the country, the difference between those clamps is...........


About $8.00

(bwahahahahhha, snicker, chuckle, snort, gefaw)

Wyo

As in may posts the original question is no longer the point:laughing:

I banterred whether I should reply to this or not.

I have been an industiral electrician for a lot of years and haven't been on the tools since 1999. Since then I have run a couple of maintenanace departments, worked as a consultant in the oil and gas industry, and my current roll as process control manager. I have worked in many industries and have a lot of experience. As you can imagine in those roles I have dealt with many an engineer. Now you have to take this as an attempt at humor with one foot solidly grounded in reality.

1. For every good engineer there are two bad ones. Look left look right if you don't have a dummy on both sides guess what...

2. What do engineers use for contraception.....their personalities.

okay now that I got that out of the way as I said I have worked for and rode herd on many engineers. I know some really good engineers, I also know some stuffed shirts who know diddly and hide behind white paper. Just cause it works on paper doesn't mean it works in the real world.

Being an engineer isn't a bad thing many is the day I wish I had gone back to school and become one. I didn't but as I am very good at what I do which is automation I have done well. To all the good engineers cudos, to the over educated stuffed shirts, out of the way leave it to the pros.

I hope that answers your question without seeming like I am an arrogant goof. Some people call a spade a spade, I call it a shovel and hit people over the head with it LOL

Well Grayson, I have only been an Engineer for 11 years. 21 years before that as a Technician in the telephone industry. Before that a Technician in a 2 way radio shop (General Radiotelephone ticket) and an Amateur Radio Operator (Extra class) for 40 years this summer. For what little all that is worth. Yes I am a nerd, but I have never relied on my personality for contraception. But anyway, I have picked up a few things along the way but have never considered my self a "stuff shirt" more like a " tee shirt". But I tell you what, if you would like to learn a little more about some of the more interesting electrical phenomena like lightning, give me a call some time, as I believe I could tell you a thing or two.

Living in Florida, I bet you know a thing or two about lightning!

LOL well well well

Never forget that we can each learn from each other in just about all cases. I was not so silly as to say all engineers are stuffed shirts only that it was a possibility LOL. I don't even think I called you a stuffed shirt.

You never answered my question about parallel current carrying conductors and the length concerns.:thumbsup:

 

[k0ua]

Tell me this why is it critical that parallel conductors be as close to the same legnth as possible and what is the danger if they aren't?

Please tell me the context here. Are we talking a parallel transmission line here as in RF energy transmission? Such as 450 ohm open wire line? or something else? Telephone twisted pair longitudnal balance problems (60 hz pickup? Unequal currents due to resistance differences? I don't understand the question.

For what it's worth, I ordered the one on the left.

Let us know how you like it.

on a welding lead I doubt it makes a (tangible) difference.. that is.. if we are talking a spare grund lead.. etc..
