Yeah Vette boy way to go!
Electricians have have been getting slagged for way to go long recently and I dont mean on this forum, but out there in the real world.
In Australia you have to serve a four year apprenticeship, pass your trsde school, ( 3 -4 years worth ) and then APPLY for an electrical license. NO ONE can touch anything above 24V DC without one. This is the way it should be. 1 It protects us in our employment and 2 and most importantly it protects people from cowboys and I am not talking about new installation jobs.
I have just returned from working in the Uk where I got a job in a
factory to find that I was employed as an 'engineer' along with the other blokes of the crew who were fitters by trade. To my disgust I found them to also be doing electrical work to a very poor standard
( no standard probaly ) and the condition of the plant electrically wise was disgusting. All because the people in charge and the people doing the job were not trained or skilled.
( mechanically the plant was A1 )
Eleccys forever!
