Electrical maintenance technicians are responsible for the assembly, installation, maintenance, testing and
fault diagnosis, repair and disassembly of a wide range of electrical plant and associated components.
Typical equipment includes power generation and distribution systems (Single phase/three phase LV),
Earthing systems, switch panels, transformers, motors, generators lighting systems, and circuit protection
devices (Fuses, MCBs, Relays, RCDs, thermal overloads). Electrical maintenance technicians are expected
to be able to diagnose the causes of electrical or electromechanical malfunctions or failures of operational
equipment in a prompt and efficient manner. They must be able to interpret maintenance specifications,
engineering drawings and wiring diagrams to achieve many of their day-to-day objectives.
