Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Oregon LEA and LEB?

LEA may install, alter, and repair all limited-energy systems. LEB limited-energy activity excludes protective signaling.

Is an Oregon technician license the same as contractor-business authority?

No. Oregon’s instructions distinguish the individual technician license from the electrical or limited-energy contractor that employs or is operated by the technician.

How many questions and how much time does the Oregon exam allow?

This diagnostic route spans more than one license and does not publish one generic total. Verify the current license-specific examination and application instructions.

Does LEB include fire-alarm or other protective signaling?

No. Oregon describes LEB as limited-energy activity that does not include protective signaling; LEA has the broader limited-energy scope.
