i don't think senior is giving you the right info we do use blue but as a hot in a three phase circuit.120/277 what we call low volt high volt is brown,orange ,yellow or instead of orange we may use purple.i know this because i us to live in fla and it is not a state law to have a journymen card in the state of fla or tn .also we do use white that would be a neutral.and yes we use bare cooper as well as green wire ,green with a yellow stripe is for isolated ground. so kev you would have to get a work visa. up north like new york you would have to a union worker and it is hard to get into. miami you need to know spianish because no one talks english there anymore thats why i left there.if you want to go to fla go to jacksonville.but i would do some research on places i would want to live good luck

i'm a sparky from oz.. our AS wiring Standars are very different from america and europe.. our grid system is different for a start.. we use red, white and if the house is old enough black conductors as ( live in single phase ) white red and light blue in 3 phase as live conductors neutral is black or dark blue. we use earth return potential grid. wiring of equipment would be roughly the same. we run on 230/400 50Hz. for low voltage. and of course green with yellow is earth.. some older house have bare earths.

we use the MEN (Main Earth Neutral) earthing as do some other countries. basicaly means faults run through protective earth conductors to the Main Board then is linked with the main neutral which it then runs throught back to the supply distributors transformer. down side of this means if u get in the way of an active conductor.. its going to be deadly. up side is we can use isolation tranformers.

I would be interested to hear more about european and american systems and work as i plan to travel there and work.. i have heard if u work for contractors under there supervision and licenses u can get work.. dont know how true this is tho.

cheers

hi, we live in tynde and wear england. we love america and are very interested in moving and working there. i am a qualified electrician with nearly 17 years exp. could anyone tell me where to start please. thanks

hi would like to ask and answer any question you have so as far as me asking here goes I'm looking to work in the states as a electrician how ever I'm getting know where in a hurry all i seem to be getting is page after page of Spam any suggestions welcome

I have travelled to the USA a couple of times over the last few years and have talked to a couple of US electricians. It seams that being an electrician in the USA depends on what State you are in. Each State I think has its own system.
Do US electricians do apprenticeship in electrical to become electricians, or any other training or can you work as a electrician under some ones electrical contractors ticket where they take responsibility for your work.
I would like to work for some years in the US as an electrician
I`ve been an electrician in Australia and NZ for 32 years and would like to take on some other challenges.

hi everybody i am a qualified irish electrician thinking of emigrating to america does anyone have info if my irsig certs are recognised and how to go about looking for work

Kieth, I believe that you would have to have a work visa to get a job here in the USA. As for your credentials, that would be up to the local jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions may allow you to walk in and take the journeymena's test. Probably many will not. They may want you to get some time as an apprentice first in order to learn our methods and codes. There are also jurisdictions that don't license electricians, only contracting companies.

My company has hired electricians from overseas in the past. If you email me, I can put you in touch with our recruiting department for more information.

Hi guys just wondering if anyone could help me. I'm currently sitting my final exams to become a Qualified Electrician. I'm from Victoria Australia and from what my trade school teachers have told me and my mates is that we have some of the highest standards in world. I would love to travel to America and work as an Electrician there but I am unsure how to go about this. Do I have to complete more training and exams to make this possible? I'm 27 years old, fit, healthy enthusiastic and very switched on. If anyone has a position available or knows the right way to go about this, that would be fantastic and much appreciated. Thanks for reading!

It would depend on what state or city you relocated to. Every state has different requirements, sometimes large cities have different requirements from the rest of the state. Some states only require the business owner to be licensed, others require that EVERY electrician be licensed and every apprentice be licensed/registered.

As far as what is required to get a visa, the nearest American Embassy or Consulate should be able to tell you what is required.

Thankyou that is much appreciated! Definitely helped alot :)
