This may or may not help but it's a good Tech Tip in our Legacy "Room" ... Electrical Terms and Definitions -- a refresher! "Electrical Talk" by Jerry (Hot Rod Lincoln).


Before we get started into troubleshooting and adjusting tips, let's review a few terms so we're all on the same page in the hymnal, so to speak! An electrical circuit can't be seen in operation so we must use a standard set of definitions to describe what's going on. It's very simple to dismantle an engine or transmission and see what's happening with the pistons, valves, gears, etc., but that just can't be done with electrons. Let's begin with some basic definitions and apply them to something that's easy for an electrical novice to understand, a plumbing system. Bear with me if you're familiar with all these terms because I'm sure a few of us could use a refresher course.
