Frequently Asked Questions
Who is authorized to work on Israel Electric Corporation meters?
Only an electrician with a special license is authorized to work on meters, main cabinets and IEC infrastructure. This is an additional license beyond the regular licensed electrician certification, requiring dedicated training and examinations. Most private electricians don't hold this license and are not permitted to touch IEC infrastructure. Dvir holds this special license and is authorized to perform all types of work on IEC installations.
What is live voltage work?
Live voltage work involves performing electrical operations on an energized system – without disconnection. Israeli electrical regulations ('Regulations for Work on Live Installations or in Their Proximity') restrict this work to special license holders only. The work requires specialized personal protective equipment (insulated gloves, safety glasses), dedicated training, and execution by a team of at least two electricians. This service is essential when power cannot be disconnected – for example in businesses with sensitive equipment.
How much does preparation for an IEC inspection cost?
Full preparation for an IEC inspection, including comprehensive testing of the entire installation and compliance adjustment, starts from ₪2,000. The final price depends on the current state of the installation and the scope of adjustments needed. In cases requiring component replacement or rewiring, the cost will be higher. We perform all adjustments and accompany the process until IEC approval is obtained. Price excludes VAT.
What does the special license permit?
The special license authorizes work that a regular electrician is not permitted to do: direct work on IEC meters, handling main electrical cabinets of buildings, live voltage work without disconnection, connection increases, and preparation for IEC inspections. It is a rare license issued by the Director of Electrical Affairs at the Ministry of Labor, requiring special examinations and proven experience. Dvir has met all requirements and holds this license.
