Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan low voltage (LV) switchboard and control panel layout.It includes preparing and planning the layout of electrical switchboards and control panel operating at voltages up to 1,000 volts (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 1,500 V direct current (d.c.) and fault levels not exceeding 20 kiloamps (kA) for approval.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
