| Purpose |
The purpose to be reached through 3 - 4½ years of education and training is the professional electrician can - independently and in accordance with electrical regulations - undertake installation, trouble shooting, repairs and maintenance of electrical systems and equipment within his field of specialization.
The largest part of as well theoretical as practical training are common within the specialized fields. Since 1974 the Nordic electrical organizations have co-operated in order to co-ordinate training and education of electricians. However, legislation in the individual countries has prevented the establishment of a common training and education program in the five countries. In some of them, the whole of the basic training takes place in school whilst in others it alternates between periods of training spent with an enterprise and those spent in school. |
| Basic electrical subjects |
Electrical theory basic electrical physics/science knowledge of common electronic and electromechanical components and their functions and usage knowledge of common power production methods and of electrical distribution systems common electrical diagrams, drawings and charts calculations on AC and DC circuits calculations on 3-phased installations correct usage of measuring equipment and methods according to regulations, including trouble shooting on common electrical circuits and systems design and usage of single-phased transformers knowledge of basic lighting systems and terms knowledge of basic automatic systems and units
Installation techniques practical installation methods and principles for high power (above 50 VAC), low power (below 50 VAC) and installation of small tele-system based on drawings and descriptions practical engine installations, and capability to choose correct material based on drawings and descriptions practical trouble shooting, repairs and preventive maintenance of engine and light installations according to rules and regulations
Electrical engines knowledge of electrical engines (AC and DC) and their design, method of operation, and usage, including start/stop and regulation equipment
Design calculation and design of supply cables (main power supply, consumer supply, and section supply cables) earthing systems and the correct earthing of installations
Control and regulation systems analogues and digital control circuits, and the principles for operation documentation for automatic systems installation and programming of automatic systems (plc) according to drawings, descriptions, and documentation and choosing the right equipment pneumatic and hydraulic components trouble shooting, repairs, and preventive maintenance
Quality assurance Health, safety and environment
All apprentices must work according to rules and regulations for a good and safe working environment choose, operate and maintain the correct material and equipment know proper actions to take in case of emergency situations (first aid and firefighting)
The contents and levels of "Electrical Subjects" and "Specialized Subjects" are defined by the electrical trade organizations. The trade organizations are committed to quality assurance of the education's, which naturally include monitoring market demands to the skilled electrician. This also means that the training and education programs are constantly liable to changes as electrical technology is evolving very quickly. |
