New to forum doing apprenticeship Discussion ThreadNew to forum doing apprenticeship Electrical Advice

Hi, new to the forum and currently doing my apprenticeship. Although I’m an ‘older’ apprentice this is certainly something I’d look into.

Would be interesting to see if both my mechanical and...
