Sorry for this being a late response. I work nights and didn't have a chance to reply until now. I'm glad that I could help, and I'll try to join in on the other theory secions.

Right, Sparky, all we're doing in an electrical circuit is pushing electrons around a loop. In an AC circuit, were pushing them back and forth. I think it takes a subatomic physicist to destroy them.

That said, can you tell me how to put the smoke back into shorted components? It would save us a lot of time at work. [Linked Image]
