Report to medical for For Cause testing Mr!!
UncaBuffalo:
Just got this response from a non-nuke source:
"Transducer is the king of instrumentation. Brush up on hall effect sensors/switches, encoder wheels, stepper motors, clutches, optics (led's that need to be cleaned and aligned), thermocouple (T/C's). As far as the 741 IC, just remember it is an op-amp, and it will be attached to a board that you will most like replace as a whole as a last resort (board don't move and as long as you have clean power they don't break). "
UncaBuffalo:
...and this is what someone had in a interview at a hydro-plant:
1. A couple of questions about true power...and how it is different from apparent power.
2. How the power meter on your house works.
3. Impedance in resonant circuits...series vs. shunt.
4. How 3-phase power affects the rotation of motors.
5. A/C vs. D/C in transformers.
6. AND/OR/NOR/NAND gates
7. Op-amps.
Creeker:
When I hired into my present utility, we had an I&C test which contained the following:
1. Basic Electronics -- Resistor color codes, ohms law, KVLs, KCLs, capacitance, inductance...
2. Power triangle type problems
3. LOTs of detector problems... LVDT, dry reference leg vented to atmosphere, atmospheric pressure changes, what happens to displayed pressure.. That sort of thing, for every different type of detector configuration you could imagine.
4. Not much at all on PLCs
5. No hard core stuff... encoder wheels, etc, but there was a couple transducer problems, RTD and thermocouples...
6. No AOV stuff that I can remember, but maybe a question or 2 on reference leg's being cracked open on a 5 valve manifold.
That's about all I can remember!

The AC vs DC Transformer question is real easy!
