Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to evaluate new and alternative technologies applicable to electrotechnology applications.It includes working safely and comparing manufacturer's technical data for alternative or new technologies with specifications for a proposed project.It also includes conducting evaluation tests, evaluating systems/components from technical data and/or measured parameters, and reporting findings for use in design work.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to evaluate and report on alternative and new technologies
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures are obtained and implemented in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 1.2 WHS/OHS risk control measures and procedures for work are followed
  • 1.3 The extent of evaluation is determined from proposed project specifications and discussions with relevant person/s
  • 1.4 Advice is sought from work supervisor to ensure work is coordinated effectively with others
  • 1.5 Tools, testing devices and manufacturer technical data required for the work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety in accordance with workplace procedures
2 Evaluate alternative and new technologies
  • 2.1 WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures for carrying out the work are followed
  • 2.2 Electrotechnology disciplines applicable to the alternative/new technology being considered are applied to the evaluation process
