Task C-16 Installs and maintains raceways, cables, conductors and enclosures
Task Descriptor
Raceways contain and protect conductors and cables. Enclosures may be used to access and terminate the content of the raceway, and to facilitate the installation of conductors and the interconnection of components. Enclosures in this task do not include types for specific active electrical control equipment such as rotating equipment, transformers, panelboards, motor starters and other fixed control equipment.
Raceways and cables are installed in various environments. Industrial electricians install, and maintain raceways, cables and conductors.
It is understood that conduits and tubing are raceways, however for the purpose of this standard, raceways are separated from conduits and tubing to identify the different skills needed to install and maintain them.
For the purpose of this standard, “install” includes both new installations and upgrading of existing systems by removing and replacing components.
For the purpose of this standard, “maintain” includes inspection, preventative/predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, replacing and repairing activities.

Task C-17 Installs and maintains branch circuitry and devices
Task Descriptor
Various devices and luminaires are installed to meet the power and lighting requirements of the facility sources. Branch circuitry components are installed in a manner which makes the power safe and convenient to use. Branch circuitry is used to conduct the power from the overcurrent device to the load. Lighting systems are used to illuminate specified areas according to consumer needs. Lighting controls operate light functions, adjust lighting levels and optimize efficiency. Industrial electricians install and maintain branch circuitry.
For the purpose of this standard, “install” includes both new installations and upgrading of existing systems by removing and replacing components.
For the purpose of this standard, “maintain” includes inspection, preventative/predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, replacing and repairing activities.

Task C-21 Installs and maintains cathodic protection systems
Task Descriptor
Cathodic protection systems refer to impressed DC current cathodic protection systems that introduce an electrical current onto a tank, pipe or structure to limit corrosion and oxidization. Industrial electricians install these systems in various environments according to specifications.
Industrial electricians maintain cathodic protection systems by performing visual inspections, troubleshooting, diagnosing faults and repairing them. They also perform maintenance to ensure cathodic systems are in operating condition.
For the purpose of this standard, “install” includes both new installations and upgrading of existing systems by removing and replacing components.
For the purpose of this standard, “maintain” includes inspection, preventative/predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, replacing and repairing activities.
