"What Should A Commercial Electrician Know?"Here's a good list to shoot for: - Conduit / MC Cable,
1/2" & 3/4" check, MC cable check. - Metal Boxes,
Check[/color - T-Bar Ceilings,
[color:#CC0000]Ceiling boxes and fan braces made for suspended ceilings, check - Steel Stud Framing,
MC/ AC is meant to be pulled in specific direction for easier pulling, check - Rated Corridors and Ceilings,
Like plenum rated ceilings? - Panelboards and Feeders,
Article 408 and table 310.16, check[/color] - Large Service Equipment,
I can identify a closed delta from an open delta, and know the difference between a delta and wye configuration. Delta transformers are wired in series, wye's in parallel.
I've also worked on I-Line panels in the past but only a couple of time, literally - Troffer type Fluorescent Lighting Fixtures,
Not sure what a "troffer type" fluorescent is but I'll guess it's either a high-bay type or a reflective lense type - Complete Plansets!!! (how to read and install per "A", "M", "E", "P" and "S" Sheets),
What is A, M, E, P, & S abbreviated for? I am somewhat ok with reading prints, but not perfect - RFIs
 ,
???? - Scissor Lifts,
Been on them before to change light fixtures but not for bending pipe on new conduit runs - Gang Boxes + Material Containers - inventory, logistics, etc.,
Planning ahead is nothing new. Just new materials and equipment to work with - Floor Boxes & Floor Ducts,
I've installed new floor boxes before, but never any floor ducts[/color] - Roof Top HVAC equipment,
Have wired a few RTU's before - Comm / Data outlets,
I could definitely use some help in this area. I can run lines (cat5, cat5e, cat6) and can terminate them no problem - Working within Crews, around many Crews,
Get er done! - Watching out for "Brown Nosers" (and not becoming one!),
(Makes note to self) - Knowing who is "In Charge" from the "Bandini Slingers",
[color:#CC0000]I agree, this is important. - A much more relaxed pace of Work (unless the person(s) running the job are Bozos / Bandini Slingers, then you have problems!),
I hope this is not the case, too much of that crap going around, for sure - A really good base on Circuitry Theory,
I think I'm good with that. - And as previously mentioned - 3 Phase Circuitry knowledge, MWBC knowledge (3 phase 4 wire), trade-specific color codes for 208Y/120V and 480Y/277V Circuitry,
This is where I need to learn more. I am not intimidated by it, I just lack a full understandingp - Pulling LOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG Branch Circuits and Feeders,
Sounds like hard work, bring it on - Making up Zillions of T-Bar Troffer Fixtures ad nauseum,
New to me - Fault Levels exceeding 10KA,
Just bigger services, larger wire, and larger fault current - Bolt-On Breakers,
I've installed them before - PLC and similar type control equipment.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with these.
Thanks for your time Scott. Your past posts over at the Theory section has been very helpful. I appreciate it, thank you. I'll toss a few more in later!
