Electrical Repair Can Be Hazardous

A Quick Guide to Passing the Master Electrician Exam

Being an electrician is not an easy job. It’s not just about connecting wires and fixing appliances. Electricians follow a Code and go through several tests to obtain a license. After all, they are responsible for the public’s safety and health, in the sense that the work they do should be competent. Licenses are there to guard the public and prevent unskilled people from performing the job.

The electrician’s license is a legal and formal document. It has to be renewed regularly, and inappropriate use can cause automatic termination of the license. Licenses of electricians who perform illegal or immoral jobs can be suspended or revoked by the government. In order to get this certification, you have to comply with requirements, which usually vary from one state to another.

Typically, work experience in accordance with the law is required before taking a test. Specific number of hours experience working under a master electrician is mandatory. The superior whom you are working with should then verify for your qualifications by signing an affidavit. After the state licensing board validates your credentials, the exam is then scheduled for you to take.

The exam is quite challenging, particularly if you don’t prepare for it. Tests are usually in written form and will assess your knowledge of electrical theory, the National Electric Code (NEC) and any local electric construction codes. Since exams are open-book, do bring with you an updated NEC copy and maybe other books including the NEC Handbook, American Electrician’s Handbook, Ferm’s Fast Finder and other materials.

Of course, bring whatever is allowed. If your state permits you to carry a set of index tabs attached to your Code book, then do so. Tabs are a great timesaver. Also, you may bring with you a calculator, pencils, scratch paper, and similar test items. Just see to it that your calculator does not solve problems based on the NEC since those highly programmed electronic calculators that can do this are usually not allowed. Stick to using simple calculators.

Studying and preparation is always key to passing a test. Allot 15 hours a week for one year to study. Also, if you have a journeyman’s license and are working, perform your work everything up to Code. For example, when performing EMT, check Article 358 and make sure you follow all Code requirements. If you have already encountered and practiced it in your work, then answering questions will be a breeze.

Don’t make an effort of memorizing the Code. It’s unnecessary and just about downright impossible for others. What you can do is learn the structure of the Code so that you can look up anything immediately. It is helpful to memorize chapter headings and be skilled in using the Table of Contents and Index. So when you take the exam, you can find the answers to some questions almost instantly, and thus save time for the more difficult questions.

It is recommended that you also memorize the internal structures of some articles. Such articles include 240 Overcurrent Protection, 250 Grounding and Bonding, and 430 Motors, Motor Circuits and Controllers. If you’re thoroughly familiarized with the Code structure, you will be able to pinpoint the right page that contains the answers to questions immediately. With this help, you can surely pass the electrician exam.
