The module AC/DC is directly related to the career path of the electrical linemen. In the module i learned about two types of electrical current, alternating (AC), and direct current (DC). In direct current (DC), the electric charge (current) only flows in one direction. Electric charge in alternating current (AC), on the other hand, changes direction periodically. The voltage in (AC) circuits also periodically reverses because the current changes direction. Electrical lineman work on power lines and other thing that have (AC) or (DC) current depending on what they are working on. Lineman work on electrically energized (live) and de-energized (dead) power line. They may perform a number of tasks associated with power lines, including installation or replacement of distribution equipment such as capacitor banks, distribution transformers on poles, insulators and fuses. To become an electrical lineman there is a lot of things you must do first. Becoming a lineworker usually involves starting as an apprentice and a four-year training program before becoming a "Journey Lineworker". Apprentice linemen are trained in all types of work from operating equipment and climbing to proper techniques and safety standards. …show more content…
The Cons of being an electrical lineman is that you have to work in any weather conditions that mother nature throws at you. Also climbing to incredible heights, if you are afraid of heights this could be bad for you if you want to become an electrical lineman. Also dealing with high voltage could easily kill you if you touch it and are not wearing the proper clothing. Personally i do not plan on having this as career in the future, it’s not really my style of working. Heights is not a problem for me but i would rather work from the ground than being on a sketchy pole 50ft in the
the dangerous jobs. Some workers want more power so they can fix all the hazards and
Welding is a dangerous job because you can hurt your eyes from the flash if you don’t wear eye protection. Yes pipeline welding dangerous, but it is wrong because it is only dangerous when proper safety precautions aren’t taking place. Welding is dangerous because pieces of metal can fall on you and you can get flash burn. And you can be exposed to gases, fires, explosions, and electric shock. But the only way these things happen is when safety measures are ignored.
The Lincoln Electric Company is the largest manufacturer of welding machines and electrodes in the world. Since its inception in 1895 the company has been on a stable path of progress. First under the management of founder John C. Lincoln and since 1914 under James F. Lincoln, John's younger brother. One of James's early actions as the head of the company was to create a committee consisted of elected representatives by the employees of the company, that were to advise Mr James in the affairs of the firm. They were called the Advisory Board and this was one of the smartest decisions that James F. Lincoln made regarding personnel. This was one of their prerequisites to progress and success and this is what makes them unique to this day. James F. Lincoln died in 1965 and it is obvious some people thought that the famous Lincoln standards would no longer be upheld, that profits would decrease and their employee bonus-plan might cease to exist. Contrarily to what people thought, the company remained strong decades after its founding father died. Moreover, the firm has seen higher profits and bonuses every year after that. Lincoln market share which was 40 percent before, remained stable for years and years. The company's philosophy still continues to be
With hard work and experience, a worker at Lincoln Electric can advance from a starting position to one of higher pay rate and responsibility. In the 1980 's, a high school diploma was all that was needed to be hired onto the company. Production workers are trained shortly on the job; once the worker has been employed a year, they are guaranteed at least a 30 hour work week and are not fired except for misconduct. This is a level of job security not seen in many factory jobs. Lincoln Electric tends to practice internal hiring initially; if an employee wants to advance they may apply for a job posted that is higher than their current position. If no employees apply or are qualified for the position, then it is posted to new hires and the

This is completed by taking state and certifying examinations. Training usually includes one to two years, including on the job experience and informal training. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, skills necessary are interpersonal skills, physical stamina, dexterity, detail oriented and compassion. It is only recommended that a student should at least major in an Associate Degree in Applied Science. A student can also acquire a bachelor’s degree, but it is not necessary for this career.
There are a lot of educational requirements as well as training one must take on the job training. They would like it if you have taken high school courses like appliance repair, blueprint reading, drafting, equipment maintenance and repair, as well as physical education. Apprenticeship programs are available and on the job training, as well as having a High School Diploma or a General Education Diploma (GED) is required. A typical day on the job would include the employee to put on their safety gear (e.g. work gloves, coveralls, safety helmet, boots, respirators or some sort of ventilation etc.). Some employers may ask if you have any type of degree in a field related to the job. College is required if you do not have any work experience and you want to be a supervisor. It will cost anywhere from $6,292.00 to $18,892.00 for tuition, $1,270.00 for books and supplies $2,580 for personal transportation, and $7,616 ...

Electricity and electrical components are a major part of our lives today. Our lives pretty much come to a halt if there is a power outage or if our electrical devices stop working, sometimes we even start panicking because we are so dependent on these components that we cannot afford to lose them and their importance and use only increases as time passes. We all use these electrical devices and also electricity itself but most of us do not think about the math and physics that works behind all of these things.
There are sometime thing that even you can’t accomplish be yourself, If you know you can't do something ask someone else for help when working as an electrician.
