The semi-final in Moscow brought together professionals of a very high level: the passing score for the stage was one of the highest in the entire history of the Championship! In such competition there was no room for error: all participants gave 100%.
The competition task consisted of two stages: assembly of the lighting automation system and installation of the electrical installation diagram. The semi-finalists worked with popular IEK products: TEKFOR plastic housings, ELASTA cable laying systems and ARMAT modular equipment. The work went on until the last second!
The contestants were observed by potential employers — representatives of JSC NPP Geofizika-Kosmos. The company showed an active interest in the competition and expressed its willingness to employ the semi-finalists. The Moscow stage was visited by employees of the administration of specialized colleges in Moscow and the management of the Department of Special Electrical Engineering, Automated Systems and Communications of the Academy of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation.
While the jury was evaluating the work, electricians were "roasting" the metal case of the TITAN series multimedia. IEK GROUP specialist Vladimir Gorelikov answered the pressing questions of practicing specialists.
The guests of the semi-final also had something to do: fans took part in exciting master classes, electrical installation competitions and studied the latest IEK products. The activities interested both practicing specialists and college students.
