Fun Electrical Facts
Check them out:
1. Electricity travels at the speed of light, which is 186,000 miles per second.
2. Before electricity was a way of life, ancient Egyptians were aware that lightning and shocks from electric fish were very powerful. They used to refer to these fish as the “Thunderers of the Nile.”
3. Electricity can be created using water, wind, the sun, and even animal waste.
4. When lightning strikes, it flows from the cloud to the ground, but the part we see is actually the charge going from the ground back up into the cloud.
5. Electricity is sometimes used as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), where patients are given electrically induced seizures in order to treat psychiatric illnesses.
6. In the 1880’s, there was a “war of currents” between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. Tesla helped invent AC current and Edison helped invent DC current, and both wanted their currents to be popularized. AC won the battle because it’s safer and can be used over longer distances.
7. Iceland is the country that uses the most electricity annually. Their consumption is about 23% more than the U.S.
8. Static electricity occurs when the electrons from one object jump to another object.
9. The world’s biggest light bulb is located in Edison, New Jersey. It’s 14 feet tall, weighs eight tons, and sits on top of the Thomas Edison Memorial Tower.
10. The average U.S. home uses 11,000 kWh of electricity every year.
11. The first central power plant in the U.S. was Pearl Station, in Manhattan. It was built in 1882 and served 85 customers.
12. Electricity travels in closed loops called “circuits.” It must have a complete path before the electrons can move. If a circuit is open, electrons can’t flow.
13. Electricity is present in our bodies – our nerve cells use it to pass signals to our muscles.

Electrical Apprenticeships
However, in recent years we have seen the introduction of new and more sophisticated equipment and systems into our domestic, commercial and industrial buildings. Known often as Building Services Engineering (BSE), this can include the provision of all the electricity, gas, water and ventilation services within a building and it can be seen to broaden the skills and responsibilities required of an electrician.
Irrespective of the phrase used, the electrician’s job will vary and depend upon the type and range of work that the employing company carries out. However, all electricians will have a broad range of similar technical knowledge and practical skills to enable them to carry out their work safely and correctly.
Some of the things that an electrician apprentice will be expected to do are:
Install, maintain and repair electrical services (eg. lighting, sockets, fire alarms, emergency lighting & heating controls)
Work indoors and outdoors and be prepared to sometimes work at height
Be encouraged to work on their own initiative
Be prepared to travel away from home
Develop good working relationships with people
Read both building and engineering drawings
Understand wiring and circuit diagrams
Select (within limits) materials and equipment
Inspect and test electrical installations
Diagnose and rectify faults on a range of circuits and equipment
Write reports
As you can see, the job of the electrician is varied and interesting and can offer a challenging career. Consequently, the training programme that you will be following as a electrician apprentice has been designed to help you by meeting and delivering training to these standards and expectations.
Electrical Installation Apprenticeships
There are many benefits attached to becoming an apprentice. When you are taken on as an apprentice, you can gain valuable first-hand experience of the industry you are interested in spending your career in, take a close look at how the industry works, learn on the job and earn whilst doing so.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Schedule a Service with an Experienced Commercial Electrical Contractor Today
Preventive Maintenance Inspections (PMI) refers to routine equipment and systems inspections used to avoid problems in equipment. Electrical PMI investigates electrical systems and equipment. Unlike other forms of preventive maintenance, electrical PMI requires specialized knowledge of the electrical industry.
What does an electrical PMI include?
Cleaning: This step is critical but easy to ignore. Routine cleaning during the inspection keeps the system running smoothly. Cleaning is used to remove normal buildup – such as dust and dirt – from circuit breakers, vents, and switch surfaces.
Visual Inspection: We use visual inspections to identify anomalies in your electrical wiring and system. Our experienced team is trained to identify even the smallest irregularities that could lead to a problem in the future, such as missing brackets or damaged wires.
Torque: Nuts and bolts gradually loosen with regular use. Weak bolted connections can cause overheating and may damage your electrical equipment. During an inspection, our team will make sure that each bolted connection is up to code.
Infrared Inspection: We use infrared scanning to locate irregular heat in your electrical system. Overheating is one of the first indications of electrical failure, which is why we take special care to fix abnormal heat before it causes a larger problem.

Q. What is a PMI?
A. PMI stands for Preventive Maintenance Inspection or Predictive Maintenance Inspection. We treat these as two different things. Preventive addresses the physical aspect of electrical equipment including visual inspection, cleaning and torquing of connections. Predictive addresses thermal inspection looking for anomalies.
Q. Are connections supposed to be regularly re-torqued?
A. Not really. It is a good idea to check them from time to time but if the connections were originally torqued correctly and then re-torqued some weeks or months later, after being loaded, then they seem to stay torqued.
