Should I Switch?
Make the switch to Anderson
Power Pole Plugs
What do I do first?
►
First Step is to do some
research.
 What tools do I need?
 How much do I have to do?
 What’s it going to cost?
►

► Cons
 Can be costly if you replace EVERYTHING
 A little confusing when installing based on
NTRAK standards (We will cover this)
Your Research
► In
a one-dimensional body, such as a wire, the
relationship between current and potential can be
described by Ohm's Law:
►V
= IR
 where
►V
= difference of potential between two points on a wire
► I = current through a wire
► R = resistance measured between the same two points as the
potential difference
