Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to solve problems in multiple path extra-low voltage (ELV) alternating current (a.c.) circuits.It includes working safely, applying problem-solving procedures, measuring devices, and providing solutions from measurements and calculations to problems in multiple path circuits.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) 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, skills and knowledge described in this unit require a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship. 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. Permits may also be required for some work environments, such as confined spaces, working aloft, near live electrical apparatus and site rehabilitation.No other licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to work on multiple path ELV a.c. electrical circuits
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied
  • 1.2 WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures in preparation for the work are followed
  • 1.3 Scope of circuit problem is obtained from documentation and/or work supervisor
  • 1.4 Advice is sought from work supervisor to ensure work is coordinated effectively with others
  • 1.5 Sources of materials required for work are identified and accessed in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 1.6 Tools, equipment and testing devices required for work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety
2 Solve multiple path ELV a.c circuit problems
  • 2.1 WHS/OHS risk control work measures and workplace procedures are followed
  • 2.2 Need to test and measure live work is determined in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and workplace procedures
  • 2.3 Circuits are checked and isolated, as required, in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and workplace procedures
  • 2.4 Methods are used to solve a.c circuit problems from measured and calculated values as they apply to multiple path electrical circuits
  • 2.5 Unplanned situations are dealt with safely in accordance with workplace procedures and approval of relevant person/s
