Major Work Activity D – Installs and Maintains Rotating and Non-Rotating Equipment and Control Systems
Task D-22 Installs and maintains motor starters and control devices
Task Descriptor
All electrical motors need a method to be started, protected and controlled. These controls can be as simple as a single switch, or as complex as a starter assembly. Industrial electricians install and maintain these starters and controls in the motor circuits.
For the purpose of this standard, “install” includes both new installations and upgrading of systems by removing and replacing motor starters, control devices and their components.
For the purpose of this standard “maintain” includes inspection, preventive/predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, replacing and repairing activities.
