Hello all...Been a while sorryBlushing Over in Perth now and finally working. I've managed to get a job as a electrical trades assistant (mate). Nobody will touch you without your A-grade electrical license which I'm in the process of getting. The TRA trades recognition australia take an age to...

Thank you for all the best wishes guys. Visa was approved on Tuesday. Flying out on Thursday morning (29/10) business class no less! Girlfriend's company is paying so I convinced her that this will probably be this lucky to experience flying in this manner! Got a great leaving party planned for...

Thanks James. Looking forward to the adventure. Last piece of documentation has been sent to DIAC! Shouldn't be long to go...

Glad to see lots of people use NWS. The muts nuts in my opinion! Got the grips from toolspot also good kit. As far as drivers go I use Facom.

Just waiting on the visa but looking at 2-3 weeks I guess. I will definately continue on this forum as many people before me have said...IT'S THE BEST! Guiness Drink Keep you all updated...B-)

It's going through at the moment. It's been 3 weeks so far and should be here in another few. My girl's being sponsored by her company for a 4year visa and apparently they fast track it when it's from a company. We were given a time-frame of 6-8weeks.

I will have a look at those links. I'm off to Perth, we're looking at Scarborough about 2 mins from the beach:D. Good to hear that the assessment is very relaxed, good old aussies!

I'm travelling over on my girlfriend's visa which allows me to study there. Did have a brief look into vetassess but it would have taken too much time before I would have been able to apply for my own visa. Are testers supplied at the assessment or do you provide your own? The detailed list of...

I've heard you need to work under a spark for about a year before you can get a licence but it sounds like it may be good for business not having bob the builder doing the electrics?!

Hi Andy. Want to thank you for trying to help me out with that contactor story, came off in the end. I'm off to Perth mate.

Hello all. I shall be emigrating down-under shortly and wondered if anyone here had any info on the Australian electrics trade? Any advice appreciated. I've discovered jumbuck is slang for sheep courtesy of Eggheads!

the fuse is a 32 amp same as the contactor but I need to change to a 60amp one. It's to switch a supply off for a sound limiter.

The existing is a single pole. I'm connecting straight from a 60amp mcb so doesn't the contactor switching the power have be rated the same or higher? Also needs to be able to house 16mm.

doesn't show. can only see 13 and 14 NO and doesn't show coil voltage on the side can only see 690V? The fuse carrier on the left takes the incoming and the outgoing goes next to it all linked besides a2. Do all 4 poles need to be linked then?
