Electrician/TL is the IQ/A skill of practical work with electrical, as opposed to electronic, systems. It defaults to IQ-5 or Engineer (Electrical) -3, and provides a (much worse) default for Engineer (Electrical). Electrician appears as a common skill along with large-scale electricity generation at TL6, and looks set to carry on for several TLs above 8. The main modifiers are equipment or familiarity, although electrical standards often apply to large areas, spanning several countries, and the basic ideas and units are the same everywhere on Earth.
Electrician is a Repair skill in the Design/Repair/Use triads, although most equipment maintained with Electrician doesn't require skills to use; if it did, they would presumably be "Electronics Operation" specialisations. Operating power stations and electricity grids does need real skill, which would presumably be a Professional skill with a default from Engineer (Electrical).
Electrician appears on several templates for technical types, underlining its great use for adventurers: cutting the power to surprise and confuse opponents within a building or installation. This seems like a good use for a One-Task Wonder perk. Action points out its usefulness in dealing with electric fences, alarms, electronic locks, and so on, setting electrical traps, repairing equipment, and restoring the power you took out. Banestorm 's Underground Engineers use Electrician/TL5, and Fantasy-Tech 1 has Electrician/TL3+2. High-Tech has tool kits, and Infinite Worlds has a system for recharging conveyors from local mechanical energy. PU3 and PU7 have examples, as usual. Reign of Steel: Will to Live has IEDs made from power cells via Electrician, and SEALs in Vietnam has the skill set for a naval electrician. Ultra-Tech tells you how to jury-rig power cells.
I don't think I've ever had Electrician on a PC of my own, though I've used it at least once on pre-generated PCs from convention scenarios. What have you done with it that was fun?
