What is an ASP Level 2 Electrician?

An accredited service provider (ASP) level 2 electrician is qualified to complete installations, repairs and maintenance on service lines that run between a property and the supply network.

A level 1 electrician, on the other hand, is trained to work strictly on overhead and underground cables within the supply network.

Extensive studying and training are required before becoming a level 2 electrician because the nature of the work is very complex.

What is a level 2 electrician?

What is the ASP level 2 electrician scheme?

The ASP (Accredited Service Provider) Level 2 electrician scheme is a comprehensive certification program in Australia. It's designed to ensure that electricians possess the necessary skills and knowledge to perform complex electrical tasks. This scheme is overseen by the NSW Department of Industry, which ensures that all ASP Level 2 electricians meet the stringent safety and quality standards set by the industry. Level 2 electricians are authorised to work on or near Energy Network’s overhead and underground power lines and equipment. They can disconnect and reconnect power, install electricity meters and upgrade power supply, among other tasks.

What does a level 2 electrician do?

A level 2 electrician is qualified to handle a broader range of electrical tasks than a regular electrician. This includes the installation and repair of overhead and underground service lines, which are often critical in maintaining a stable power supply for homes and businesses. They are also authorised to disconnect and reconnect power, a task that requires a high level of expertise due to the potential risks involved. Additionally, level 2 electricians can install electricity meters, ensuring accurate readings of your power usage. They can also upgrade your power supply, allowing for increased capacity to meet higher power demands. In emergency situations, level 2 electricians are equipped to handle repairs on electrical lines and equipment, providing a swift response to minimise downtime.

Level 2 electricians use a wide array of specialised tools and equipment to carry out their work effectively and safely.

Safety equipment such as insulated gloves and safety glasses are also crucial to protect against potential hazards on the job.
