  Results gained for electron scattering on $^3$He in a nonrelativistic
framework are reviewed. The electromagnetic current is truncated to a single
nucleon operator, but the interaction among the three nucleons is treated
exactly. Thus initial and final 3N states are evaluated consistently as
solutions of Faddeev equations based on realistic NN forces. The correct
inclusion of the final state interaction turned out to be important. The
agreement to data is reasonably good, but the neglection of MEC's can be seen.
That inconsistency should be removed. For pd capture processes we included some
MEC's via the Siegert theorem, which dramatically improves the description of
the pd capture data.
