Inside Electricians
Inside Electricians play a critical role in the installation and maintenance of electrical systems in commercial buildings and various industrial settings. Their work includes planning and initiating projects, establishing temporary power systems during construction, and ensuring proper grounding systems are in place. They are responsible for installing electrical services to buildings, establishing power distribution networks, and planning and installing raceway systems. Additionally, Inside Electricians install new wiring, repair old systems, and provide power and control connections for motors, HVAC systems, and other equipment. Their expertise extends to installing receptacles, lighting systems, fixtures, and fire alarm systems, as well as troubleshooting and repairing complex electrical systems. They also handle outdoor projects such as installing traffic signals, outdoor lighting, and power feeders.
The duties of Inside Electricians require proficiency with a wide array of tools. These range from simple hand tools like wire cutters and screwdrivers to power-assisted tools such as electric drills and cable pullers. On occasion, they also operate heavy equipment like trenchers and aerial lifts, demonstrating versatility in their work environments.
Throughout the five-year Inside Electrician apprenticeship, apprentices develop a comprehensive body of technical knowledge essential for success. This includes an in-depth understanding of the National Electrical Code, working with energized circuits, interpreting blueprints and electrical schematic diagrams, and adhering to state and local electrical codes. Apprentices also gain critical knowledge of safety protocols, such as First Aid, OSHA 10 standards, hazardous materials handling, and job-specific safety rules.
Equally important are the hands-on skills cultivated during the apprenticeship. Apprentices learn to perform CPR, read wire tables to determine appropriate conductor sizes, and terminate aluminum or copper cables effectively. By mastering these skills, Inside Electricians are equipped to meet the demands of a dynamic and vital profession.
