r/ElectricianU

People outside the trades usually think of electrical work as less physically demanding than roofing/construction, but the more I look into it the more repetitive strain seems like a huge issue.

Overhead work?
Ladders?
Neck/shoulders?
Hands/wrists?
Knees?
Awkward positioning?

Curious what actually causes the most long-term wear physically for electricians.

I'm trying to confirm something. I'm looking into purchasing a Predator 13000 watts generator. The only issue I found is the windings on it are aluminum. Being said so, does that me the generator power cord has to be size to #4 copper or will #6 still be fine? Thanks in advance
