a. Perform regular periodic preventative maintenance inspection of electrically powered overhead cranes and hoists for needed maintenance service and repairs and, simultaneously accomplishes same. Perform regular periodic tests of electrically powered overhead cranes and hoists ranging in capacity to 60 tons. Use a variety of tools and equipment in making the tests including dynamometer and Seghers Fluidized Bed.

b. Repair and maintain electric power equipment, circuits and systems for a variety of fixed industrial equipment, e.g., lathes, drill presses, heat treat, waits, degreaser units, reproduction equipment, battery chargers, welding equipment, etc. Specifications, etc., uses ohmmeters, ammeters, meggars, and other devices to locate electrical malfunction. Lay out work and draws parts from stock. Make repair by rewiring and installing controls and equipment. Replace connections, switches, solenoids, thermostats, etc. Test and adjust after repair to insure good operating condition. Complete work order requests, indicating repair and supplies used.

c. Maintain and repair electrical wiring systems in dynamometer cells, set up to test a variety of types and sizes of engines. Work with maintenance mechanics on team work or on calls when defective wiring affects testing. Note results of meters and testing devices for overall effectiveness of electrical wiring system. Provide necessary wiring and controls to attain maximum safety to operator and building equipment.

Electronic:
Perform the following tasks in the maintenance and repair of electronic control and power equipment classified as minor complex electronic equipment components. Visually inspects for improper or bad connections, blown fuses, burned out tubes and resisters arcing and smoke, switches and dials for proper settings, broken electrical cords or plugs, etc.; performs small test for burned insulation, charred resisters, overheated transformers, etc.; and performs hearing test for high voltage arcing and cooking of overheated or overloaded transformers, etc. Performs continuity tests, voltage and resistance measurements.
