Major Work Activity B – Installs and Maintains Generating, Distribution and Service Systems

Task B-7 Installs and maintains consumer/supply services and metering equipment

Task Descriptor

Service entrance equipment provides power for single-phase and three-phase electrical systems and equipment. Consumer services can provide normal, emergency and temporary power. This equipment allows for the safe utilization of electricity.

For the purpose of this standard, “install” includes both new installations and upgrading of systems by removing and replacing components.

Industrial electricians maintain single-phase and three-phase consumer/supply services and metering equipment by troubleshooting, diagnosing faults, and repairing them. They also perform maintenance to ensure the consumer/supply services and metering equipment are in good operating condition.

For the purpose of this standard, maintain includes inspections, preventative/predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, replacing and repairing activities.

Task B-8 Installs and maintains protection devices

Task Descriptor

Overcurrent protection devices provide protection against excessive currents and short circuits to service entrance, feeder and branch circuit conductors, and equipment. Ground fault protection devices provide protection against shock and current leakage and are usually used in conjunction with overcurrent devices. Arc fault protection devices provide protection from the effects of arc faults by de-energizing the circuit when an arc fault is detected. These devices also have overcurrent protection for the circuit. Surge protection devices prevent transient voltages from entering or leaving the system. Under and over voltage devices prevent under and over voltage condition to protect the downstream equipment.

For the purpose of this standard, “install” includes both new installations and upgrading of systems by removing and replacing components.

Industrial electricians maintain overcurrent, ground fault, arc fault, surge protection devices and under/over voltage devices by troubleshooting, diagnosing faults, replacing devices and repairing them. They also perform maintenance on these devices to ensure they are in good operating condition.

For the purpose of this standard, “maintain” includes inspection, preventative/predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, replacing and repairing activities.
