Adjusts line-drop compensators and reads meters to sustain voltage within specified range. Computes electrical characteristics, for example impedance, power factor, and phase angle. Oils moving parts of regulator and changes oil in motor-bearing housings. Files contact points to remove carbon and provide smooth surface for electrical contact. Clips voltmeter to regulator and records voltage on inspection report. Sends defective motors and parts to repair department. May also make voltmeter and ammeter tests on transmission lines and auxiliary equipment.
