In today’s article, Caslec industrial electricians would like to tell you about the differences between residential and industrial electricians, so it could help you find the right professional for your needs.

You would typically assume that the rules of finding a good industrial electrician are the same for every type of specialist in the industry. In a sense, you are correct, but at the same time, it’s worth becoming familiar with the set of skills that an industrial electrician has and the type of training they undertake to get where they are in their profession or trade.

Industrial electricians work in specific environments and over time, either by training or through experience on the job, have distinct, knowledge of particular electrical installations and types of equipment. For example robotics and other highly specialised electrical equipment that might be used in the mining or manufacturing industry.

As the field of expertise is very broad, most of the industrial electricians choose to specialise in certain areas. One of the very popular in the last ten years is the motor vehicle industry. As you would probably be aware, every model of the vehicle produced these days has new and specialised electrical equipment and naturally, this requires highly specialised technical expertise to install, repair and maintain.

So what are the characteristics of a good industrial electrician that might make choosing one easier for you?

Let’s take a look at some of the things you should pay attention to:

• Good industrial electricians have the experience and knowledge and, most importantly, the training required to work with highly specialised pieces of electrical equipment. It is of particular importance to check that their training is of sufficient depth to be able to work with the equipment required efficiently.
• They should always possess the capacity to communicate well and be a good team player so that they can work as a part of a harmonious work environment.
• Working as a part of an overall team is one thing, but specialised team members such as industrial electricians should also be able to communicate effectively with customers where necessary.

Naturally, every work environment has particular skill requirements and supervisors need to be careful to ensure that the industrial electrician they choose ticks every box, not just those listed above.

If you are still not sure about which industrial electricians you should choose.

Using energy efficient appliances has become very popular in Australia over the last few years, but it can be hard to know what to look for.

In today’s article by Caslec commercial electricians, we would like to list some simple steps that can help in choosing the right product.

Energy star rating

The item’s energy star rating can help in making a quick judgement about its energy efficiency. The more star, the more energy efficient the appliance is.

Guides and product manuals

Many appliances have energy saving functions built in. It’s important to read the manual to learn how these can be used as it can save you a lot of money.

Recycling

Electrical appliances can be hazardous to dispose of, so it’s worth to find a retailer that can collect old items when they deliver the new product.

If your primary motivation for investing in energy efficient products is to save money, then remember the appliances that are not in use should be unplugged rather than left on standby. New televisions should also be set for the ‘home use’ mode which lowers the brightness on the screen and saves power.

If you are working on electrical circuits or with electrical equipment, you need to follow some golden safety rules.

Commercial Electricians in Sydney Safety Tips

• Stay away from energised electrical circuits.

Sounds obvious yes! But if something bad happens you probably won’t get a second chance.

• Think about electrical devices as if they were live or energised
• Make sure you always disconnect the power source before servicing or repairing any electrical device
• Use only equipment with non-conducting handles
• Don’t use metallic rulers or pencils.
• Take off rings, watches etc when working with electrical devices. Unfortunately, this rule is quite easy to forget.
• If it’s necessary to handle some plugged in equipment, make sure your hands are dry and if possible wear protective clothes
• If possible, work with one hand only.

• Try not to use electrical equipment in cold rooms or other areas where condensation is likely.
• If water or a chemical is spilt onto equipment, shut off power at the main switch
• If someone comes in contact with a live electrical conductor, don’t touch the equipment or the person.

• Devices that produce a “tingle” should be reported for repair
• Drain capacitors before working near them and keep the short circuit on the terminals to prevent electrical shock
• Don’t touch another’s person equipment unless instructed to do so
• Secure all electric contacts and conductors so no one can accidentally get in contact with them
• Don’t handle electrical equipment when your body is wet or when standing on a wet floor
• If it’s necessary to touch electrical equipment use the back of your hand. To avoid “freezing” to the conductor
• Don’t keep highly flammable liquids near electrical equipment

And for the end please have a look at a typical example of ignorance when it comes to basic electrical safety

As a leading commercial electricians company in Sydney, we would like to come up with weekly advice on how to make your business a better place to work for you and your employees.

Industrial properties in Sydney are one of the main electrical energy consumers in Australia. Heating, lighting, and office equipment use large amounts of energy. However, in today’s article, we would like to give you a range of steps companies can take to make their buildings more energy efficient.

• Industrial properties should have energy management plans that regulate the use of lighting, cooling and heating. The energy saving strategy should include optimising the usage of appliances to minimise costs while meeting the needs of tenants.

• Energy efficient lighting should be installed together with control sensors used to ensure that lights are on only when they need to be. The interior design of industrial buildings should favour the daylight over artificial one.

• Server rooms should be cooled efficiently with fans or located off-site.

• Offices also should be equipped with energy efficient devices. Old copiers and computers should be replaced with power saving modern alternatives wherever it’s possible.

Studies done by Caslec Commercial Electricians show that also employees are happier and more efficient when working in a healthy office environment.
