Industrial electrician - Which skills are essential?
Computer-based control systems that monitor mechanical and electrical equipment in a building such as HVAC, security and lighting systems.
Apply ergonomy principles in the organisation of the workplace while manually handling equipment and materials.
Identify, report and repair equipment damage and malfunctions; communicate with field representatives and manufacturers to obtain repair and replacement components.
Check electrical supplies for damage, moisture, loss or other problems.
Join and weave electric and communications cable and trunk lines together.
Check construction supplies for damage, moisture, loss or other problems before using the material.
Install equipment which is dependent on electric currents or electromagnetic fields in order to work, or equipment to generate, transfer or measure such currents and fields. This equipment includes switchboards, electric motors, generators or direct current systems.
Install electricity sockets into walls or sub-floor compartments. Isolate all electric cables in the socket to prevent accidents.
Apply the relevant health and safety procedures in construction in order to prevent accidents, pollution and other risks.
Use electronic, mechanical, electric, or optical precision tools for precision work.
Use different measurement instruments depending on the property to be measured. Utilise various instruments to measure length, area, volume, speed, energy, force, and others.
Test electronic units using appropriate equipment. Gather and analyse data. Monitor and evaluate system performance and take action if needed.
Monitor the situation around you and anticipate. Be ready to take quick and appropriate action in case of unexpected events.
Prepare wires for installation in a switch. Wire the switch. Install it securely in the right location.
Use elements of protective clothing such as steel-tipped shoes, and gear such as protective goggles, in order to minimise risk of accidents in construction and to mitigate any injury if an accident does occur.
Understand the principles of electricity and electrical power circuits, as well as the associated risks.
Pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the power and signal connections between the devices. It gives information about the relative position and arrangement of devices and terminals on the devices, to help in building or servicing the device. A wiring diagram is often used to troubleshoot problems and to make sure that all the connections have been made and that everything is present.
Industrial electrician - Which skills are useful but not essential?
The different factors which are involved in the calculation and estimation of electricity consumption in a residence or facility, and methods in which electricity consumption can be lowered or made more efficient.
Make up prices and documents for the products that customers may purchase.
Operate and use soldering tools and soldering iron, which supply high temperatures to melt the solder and to join electronic components.
Prepare and apply coating, such as conformal coating, to electrical equipment and its components to protect the equipment against moisture, high temperature, and dust.
Use different types of drywall sanders, automatic or manual, handheld or on an extension, to sand surfaces to a smooth finish or to rough them up for better adhesion.
Monitor and control operations on an electrical power transmission and distribution system in order to ensure that major risks are controlled and prevented, such as electrocution risks, damage to property and equipment, and instability of transmission or distribution.
The engineering processes that combine electrical and mechanical engineering in the application of electromechanics in devices that need electricity to create mechanical movement or devices that create electricity by mechanical movement.
Identify operating problems, decide what to do about it and report accordingly.
Test electrical equipment for malfunctions. Take safety measures, company guidelines, and legislation concerning electrical equipment into account. Clean, repair and replace parts and connections as required.
Assemble switches, electrical controls, circuit boards and other electrical components by using hand and soldering equipment.
Electrical wire and cable products and accessories, such as electrical connectors, splices, and wire insulation.
Factors that contribute to lower energy consumption of buildings. Building and renovation techniques used to achieve this. Legislation and procedures regarding energy performance of buildings.
Assemble and maintain electronic components and electronic circuits.
Determine the type, size and number of pieces of electrical equipment for a given distribution area by making complex electrical calculations. These are made for instruments such as transformers, circuit breakers, switches and lightning arresters.
Install electrical switches designed to switch off automatically in case of an overload or short-circuit. Organise circuit breakers in the panel logically. Make sure no foreign objects are introduced into the panel. Use only circuit breakers approved for the panel, usually the same manufacturer.
Order the required materials for assembling electrical equipment, paying attention to the price, quality, and suitability of the materials.
Remove defective parts and replace them with functioning components.
The functioning of electronic circuit boards, processors, chips, and computer hardware and software, including programming and applications. Apply this knowledge to ensure electronic equipment runs smoothly.
Different ways of setting up solar panels, such as pole mounting, where the panels are fixed to a surface, ballasted mounting, where weights are used to keep the panels in place, and solar tracking, where panels are mounted on a moving surface in order to follow the sun through the sky for optimal insolation.
Find faults in wires or cables by using specialised equipment and repair these faults depending on type of wiring.
Test procedures performed on electrical equipment and machinery in order to check the performance and quality of the electrical equipment and their adherence to specifications. During these tests electrical properties, such as voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, and inductance, are measured using electrical measuring equipment, such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and voltmeters.
The principles and operations of devices that can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, such as dynamos and alternators, rotors, stators, armatures, and fields.
