442A is a class of industrial electrical licence issued by the province or territory in Canada. It allows individuals to work as industrial electricians. This license is required to work on industrial settings, such as factories, power generation facilities, and mines.
Individuals who hold a 442A license are qualified to install, maintain, and repair electrical systems and equipment in industrial settings. This work may include the installation of electrical distribution systems, control systems, and specialized equipment such as motors, transformers, and switchgear.
To obtain a 442A license, individuals typically must have completed a recognized apprenticeship program and have a certain number of hours of relevant work experience. After meeting these requirements, they need to pass a certification exam that covers topics related to industrial electrical systems and equipment, safety procedures, and the Canadian Electrical Code.
- As with 309A, the requirement and format of the exam may vary by province or territory, so it’s recommended to check with the local regulatory body for the specific details.
