What is the difference between a technician and electrician?

Answer 1

The technologists design, and draft the electrical network from the ground to each outlet. The technician and the artisan are the same. They install and repair the electricity in the building.

Answer 2

A tech is often a appliance repair person who is licenced to work on appliance but not fixed wiring.(limited licence)A electrician can also work on appliances as well as fixed wiring, switchboards etc. Techs can also be a term used for someone specialised in particular fields also say heating or control.

Answer 3

An electrician works on small-scale repairs while an electrical engineer design, test, and oversee the manufacture of electrical equipment.

Another Answer

An electrician is a tradesman who has undergone a recognised apprenticeship, and is responsible for installing and repairing electrical installations in residential, commercial, or industrial buildings, or in ships or aircraft. An electrician's academic qualifications are lower than those required for for electrical technicians.

An electrical technician has significantly higher academic qualifications than an electrician, but lower than that of an electrical engineer. They are expected to have much higher mathematical skills and a greater understanding of electrical science than electricians. Technicians are not necessarily required to complete an apprenticeship, as they are not required to have the sort of 'hands on' skills that electricians have. Technicians fill the gap between electricians and electrical engineers, and are responsible for work such as designing electrical installations (but not installing them), testing equipment, etc. Technicians may be required to supervise and inspect the work performed by electricians.

Answer 4

Electrical engineering is concerned with circuits containing only passive components and their use in power transmission and distribution systems.

Electronic engineering is concerned with circuits containing both passive and active components and their use in signal and/or data handling systems.

Answer 5

electrical engineering comprises control ,digital,machines,power etc....

but electrical only means wiring reparing like,
