Electricity is very dangerous if you don´t know exactly what to do and how to do it. You can´t take a chance and try to connect the wires because it can be dangerous to your self and others. So we have to make some extra effort in the school to make the electric installation safe.
Hi Jonas
ReplyDeleteI am also a teacher of electrical. I am wondering what power supply you work with. We operate with 240 volt 50 hertz. Also do you have a national standard which electrical work must comply with?

Hello, in Sweden we have almost the same, we have 230 volt and 50 hertz. In the whole Europe we have the same kind of electric construction. The European Union has desired for example that all countries in Europe should have the same colors on the wire that the neutral wire is always blue and so on.
ReplyDeleteIn Sweden we have a lot of national rules and conditions that all electricians have to follow and it is a high demand on the students that they are approved by the schools.
How long is your electric education for the students in school before they are fully trained? Here are the students in school for three years and with 15 weeks of practice in an electrical company.
Here they work in an elctrical company for 3.5 to 4 years along side a trained person and come to the school one day per week for 36 weeks a year. When they are finished their training they are given a big test at the end known as a "capstone test". If they do not pass this then they are not allowed to work in the elctrical industry anymore as a trained person. They can be an assitant but not acknowledged as having full training. Our rules are known as AS3000:2007.
