Name = Paul. Location = U.K. I thought this was a forum for professionals. And possible future professionals...... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/smile.gif) Shouldn't that be the other way around? Dogs have owners. Cats have staff. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/biggrin.gif)

OK, Mine is pretty simple. My name is Mike Trump. I have been known as Trumpy since I started school in the 70's. It stuck and there you go. It is a convention here in NZ that if you have a one syllablle((sp??) surname, you instantly get a y at the end of it. It is an affectionate name. I have however been referred to throughout my Fire Service career as <Insert Rank> Trump. Not unlike the military.

MXSlick quote: "Mine came from my motocross days in the early 1990's." So I guess MXSlick already knows what WFO stands for. For the rest of you, it stands for "Wide Freaking Open" (cleaned up slightly for public consumption) and referred to somebody whose throttle hand was stronger than his brain. Now it just stands for "Wide, Fat, and Old".

Mine came up as a brain wave while building some 230 Volts mains despiking filters.
I was pondering of a name for them and RODALCO appeared in some of my rusty braincells.
R stands for Raymond,
O Orsoy (surname)
D deFlines (surname)
ALCO from the railway locomotives in the USA.
It sounded ok hence the name stuck.
Also use the RF xxx plus 3 digit number for asset numbers on equipment, like timeclocks and the like.
The product of rotation, excitation and flux produces electricty.

It's either because I'm 6'3, 200 pounds and John is my given name... OR! Maybe I just like large toilets. -John

Well, since it took me 15 years of work to get my master electrician license and professional engineering license thought I'd use it for something.
