Using software in our  work is essential for most of us and we are becoming even more dependant on it's use.  While software is a great asset, many times using it can be more problematic than the problem it is trying to solve.  To maximise the benefit of using software I have been trying to think of five general guidelines.  This is my list: 

American inventor Thomas Alva Edison was born in Milan, Ohio on February 11, 1847. He was the youngest of seven children and received little formal schooling. Most of his education happened at home under the care of his mother, Nancy.

The calculation of current in a three phase system has been brought up on our forums and is a discussion I seem to get involved in every now and again.  While some colleagues prefer to remember formulas or factors, my approach is to do resolve the problem step by step using basic principles.  I thought it would be good to write this down in case it may prove useful to someone else.
