Isnt there a slight problem with this? wouldnt
a liscened electrician be able to get paid ALOT
more out on his own?
As I posted earlier, many other trades have licensed staff:
HVAC, sign installation, overhead door contractors, industrial machinery movers, and on and on hire staff with a license listed on their resume. Or sends a member or two from their staff to acquire and maintain a license.
A license alone won't get magically get you hired high up in the field of electricians, you still have to go through the apprenticeship to get into any union electrical contractors. Or they would have to show considerable experience to get into a high paying position with a non-union contractor.
If a freshly licensed guy wanted to leave to go be a handyman or something, he could take it there, but the road to being a highly paid electrician is still a long one.
doing this would make the installer think he could
leave right?
At any given point in time, any installer may think that the grass is greener somewhere else.
If he thinks his current job is a dead end, or that the company is hard to work for, he will leave, if he is treated right and sees opportunity to grow, he will stay...
so what everyone is saying is that you cannot
run the UL approved plasma wire in the wall and
out the wall for a plasma?
You cannot run any cable, regardless of what it's for or who's mark is on it, into and out of walls without proper termination at the entry and exit points. And cabling in the walls and the terminations must meet the NEC code for the area, whether that means romex, BX, or wire in conduit, metal or plastic boxes, and if it's in a bathroom or kitchen you may have to use a GFCI breaker on the circuit or a GFCI outlet as well...
It's not cut and dried, it's the combination of the correct wiring method, the correct termination AND the correct component installation method for the application.
You seem to be new around here Beerock, read the posts by Larry Fine if you want to learn more about electical and integration from the perspective of someone who knows both inside and out.
