Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to design electrical installations with a low voltage (LV) demand greater than 400 ampere (A) per phase.It includes preparing and developing designing schemes for the protection of persons and property, correct functioning, compatibility with the supply and arrangement of circuits. It also includes determination of fault levels, effective switchgear, control gear, and protection against over-current and over and under-voltage and wiring based on calculations to meet required safety and performance standards and functional requirements.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
