Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to solve problems in transformers. It includes safe working practices, ascertaining correct operation of transformers and solving problems as they apply to servicing, fault finding, installation and compliance work functions.The skills and knowledge described in this unit require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V direct current (d.c.). Competency development activities in this unit are subject to regulations directly related to licensing. Where a licence or permit to practice is not held, a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship, may be required. Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to electrical work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to test and connect transformers
  • 1.1 WHS/OHS requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified and applied
  • 1.2 Hazards are identified, risk are assessed and control measures and workplace procedures are implemented
  • 1.3 Safety hazards which have not previously been identified are noted on job safety assessments and existing risk control measures are implemented
  • 1.4 Nature of transformer problem is obtained from documentation, service manual or work supervisor to determine scope of work
  • 1.5 Advice is sought from work supervisor to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others
  • 1.6 Materials required for work are determined in accordance with workplace procedures
