Hello everyone!
I'm a former master electrician from the mid-80's. I stopped doing all forms of electrical design, construction and maintenance about 20 years ago, and now am attempting to take it up again in a limited form.
It's most definitely not like riding a bicycle!
I have experience with overhead and underground high-voltage work (15 kV) down to 6 volt d.c. systems used for control; fire alarm systems; telecommunications; residential, commercial and industrial applications, and more.
I'm located in WV area at present.
I hope to be of service to all of you.
Thank you.
Regards,
Gaura

Just a little curious, what were you doing the last 20 years?

Hi Garry
Even at the end of my electrical work, I was evolving into overall project management as a in-house general contractor for a large development company. I eventually just oversaw the electrical dep't. and devoted my time to oversight of the design, planning and construction aspects. I worked overseas for 6 years on a quite large development project that stalled due to a lack of funds [it was a $750 MM project].
For the last 8 years or so I've been re-building machines part-time.
