UK to Canadian Electricians the Transformation Registration
Just a thought but how about all the UK electricians that are in the throws, considering or already here in Canada start a contact list to support each other and assist in the spread of knowledge required to make it here. maybe theres only half a dozen right now but its a start, right?
Regards Thomas:thumbsup: |

Get yourself a copy of the code and understand how to use the index effectively it will save valuable time during the 4 hour exam. |

Regards Thomas:thumbsup: I have been here for 2 1/2 years. I am an Industrial Electrician (factory Maintenance) in Manitoba, it is very tough to establish yourself, but once you get your foot in a door, you have made it. I would be happy to share my experiences on how I managed to get here. Darren |

Forget that Hilmour bender, over here they use the hockey stick (former at the end of a piece of tube). EMT is the main stay of commercial electrical installations and comes in sizes from 1/2" through to 6". Gutter (trunking) is not used for any containment other than above below distribution equipment for use as splitter (where the wire nuts live). Submains are mainly run in big tube unless a teck cable is installed. As 120v is rubbish for decent lighting applications lighting circuits are ramped up to 277v or 347v. Forget the term switch room these rooms are simply known as electrical rooms, you will find transformers either floor or ceiling mounted step up or down dependent on distribution voltage.. Some things are like back home, they use wire basket for low voltage, data comms and voice etc.
Attached is the guide on how to use this antique tube bender. |
