In a simple description?
Lineman Deals with power distribution from the generating plant or inter-utility distribution point to the customer's POP (Point Of Purchase) - what we call the "service point", where the service drop is connected to the customer.
Electrician Deals with the distribution of power inside the premises (note - not necessarily the
building), including using approved wiring methods to meet Code (and customer needs), the installation and maintenance of power - served appliances such as motors, and the installation and maintenance of other electricity utilizing devices on the premises.
There are several Lineman websites out there - I will try to find the ones I have visited before, and post them here.
<Update> Check out these sites:
www.powerlineman.com www.lineman.com www.lineworker.com www.elineman.com www.njatc.org/apprentice/outside.htm That should be a good start for ya!
