If a conclusion is true, there are different ways to arrive at the that conclusion. One way might be cut and try, another might be through the manipulation of symbols, another the drawing of lines and circles. If it is important and when I can, I try to use at least two methods to test a conclusion. Plus a different method can offer insight when I fail to see it in another. My problem with my previous view was that I looked at each wire as a phase (neutral based) and I had two wires that were out of phase by 180 degrees and was trying to create a third phase. Now I look at a phase as needing two wires and I start with one pair, one phase, to create two others. If I had used the cut and try method (pulled out the oscilloscope) or if I had the mathematical chops I might have seen my problem earlier. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
