About Engineer Tsai
About Engineer Tsai. I turn complex electrical engineering into clear notes, diagrams, and step-by-step tutorials. With safety first and practical checklists, you can learn fast and act with confidence.
At first, I traced wires and verified faults with a meter. Later, I noticed a gap: many guides were heavy on theory yet light on practice. Because of that, I began publishing short explainers and step-by-step tutorials. For instance, I cover panel labels, breaker choice, load math, and spec sheets. In addition, each idea maps to a safe action you can take tomorrow.
Over time, several outcomes stood out. First, study maps helped beginners pass entry-level tests without rote notes. Next, long manuals became one-page checklists for panels and lighting. Finally, power-and-cost calculators sped up decisions and, as a result, made them safer.
Above all, knowledge should never be a barrier to your dreams.
What You’ll Learn Here from About Engineer Tsai
Core concepts, made practical First, we cover voltage, current, power factor, and protection. Then, we link each idea to a field action. Consequently, you know why each step matters.
DIY & troubleshooting You will isolate safely, test continuity, and read fault symptoms. For example, we fix outlets, lighting, tripping breakers, and noisy loads.
MEP workflows Meanwhile, we plan panel schedules, size conductors, and choose protection. Moreover, we read datasheets, compare standards, and prepare submittals.
Study maps & templates Each guide ends with a printable checklist. In addition, you can download Excel tools.
Methods & Tools from About Engineer Tsai
In practice, my approach is simple: Signal → Diagnose → Act. First, spot the signal. Next, verify it with a meter. Finally, apply the smallest safe fix. Besides that, I keep an assumptions table and a one-page playbook. Meanwhile, common tools include a multimeter, a clamp meter, an insulation tester, and basic loggers.

I write the way I learned.Specifically, I show numbers, prove each step, and end with action. As a result, you gain skill and confidence—not just facts. When needed, I add diagrams or a checklist so the step is easy to repeat.
Safety & Limits
Electrical work is risky. Thus, follow local codes and site rules. If in doubt, ask a licensed professional. Above all, isolate and test before touch.

FAQ
Q1: I’m a beginner. Where should I start?
Start with the Basic Lessons series. Each post ends with a checklist and a next step so you don’t get stuck.
Q2: Do you teach code compliance?
I explain concepts and typical practices, then point to standards. Always follow local codes and your site’s rules.
Q3: Can I use your checklists at work?
Yes—download and adapt them. Add your site’s acceptance criteria and keep a change log.
Q4: What tools do I really need at home?
A reliable multimeter, non-contact tester, insulated screwdriver set, and a notebook for readings. Add a clamp meter if you log current.
Q5: How do you keep content accurate?
I include assumptions and references, test steps in the field where possible, and revise checklists based on reader feedback.
