Who Assigns the Categories for the Electrician Profession

A first-class electrician can perform the simplest work and must own a special tool. Electricians of the second and third category have access to installations up to 1000 V.

These specialists work in small enterprises or as part of teams in factories and large factories. Qualifications and categories of electricians More in-depth knowledge of all the circuits and nuances of your site. Knowledge not only of safety precautions, but also an understanding of the reasons for all its provisions.

Ability to train personnel and provide first aid in case of electric shock.

Work experience ranges from 3 to 42 months minimum. The profession of an electrician requires a high level of concentration and responsibility not only for one’s own life, but also for the health of subordinates. What specialties to study? To get the opportunity to work as an electrician, you should choose a specialty

"Relay protection and automation of electrical power systems"

.

History of the profession

The profession of electrician appeared relatively recently. At the end of the nineteenth century, the first power plants began to appear and networks were laid. It was at this moment that the need arose for personnel who could service these stations. With the development of electrical networks and the construction of more and more new stations, there is a demand for specialists in the electrical power industry.

Currently, electricians are required in almost every enterprise. Organizations that service apartment buildings have an electrician on their staff who is responsible for intra-building networks. Due to the prevalence of the profession and the difficult work, quite high demands are placed on specialists.
