The NJATC developed electrical training curricula for Inside Wireman, Outside Lineman, Voice-Data-Video (VDV), and Residential Wireman programs. Emerging technologies such as photovoltaics (solar power generation), wind power generation and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are also encompassed in the NJATC curricula, along with codes and ...
High voltage transmission lines can be worked live with proper setups. The lineworker must be isolated from the ground. The lineworker wears special conductive clothing that is connected to the live power line, at which point the line and the lineworker are at the same potential, allowing the lineworker to handle the wire. The lineworker may ...
Hot stick or Live Line Tool Hot sticks are used in live line work by having the worker remain at a specified distance from the live parts and carry out the work by means of an insulating stick. Tools can be attached to the stick, allowing work to be performed with the worker safely away from the live conductors. Insulating Gloves or Rubber Gloves
Wiremen are generally trained in one of five primary specialties: commercial, residential, light industrial, industrial, and low-voltage wiring, more commonly known as Voice-Data-Video, or VDV. Other sub-specialties such as control wiring and fire-alarm may be performed by specialists trained in the devices being installed, or by inside wiremen.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) is a labor union that represents approximately 820,000 workers and retirees [1] in the electrical industry in the United States, Canada, [3] Guam, [4] [5] Panama, [6] Puerto Rico, [7] and the US Virgin Islands; [7] in particular electricians, or inside wiremen, in the construction industry and lineworkers and other employees of public ...
Most employers prefer to hire electronics technicians with an associate degree or other post-secondary education in engineering technology, such as those available at technical institutes, at community colleges, at extension divisions of colleges and universities, at public and private vocational-technical schools, and in the Armed Forces.
The technical crew, often abbreviated to the "tech crew" or simply the "crew" (individually often known as "techies", "techs", or "technicians"), are the people employed behind the scenes ("backstage") to control all the technical aspects of creating a concert, play, musical, opera or other live performance. The technical crew can consist of ...
A monitor engineer and console at an outdoor event. Live sound mixing is the blending of multiple sound sources by an audio engineer using a mixing console or software. Sounds that are mixed include those from instruments and voices which are picked up by microphones (for drum kit, lead vocals and acoustic instruments like piano or saxophone and pickups for instruments such as electric bass ...
