No information
Stream: Production Plant
Field: Maintenance
Equivalencies: This unit of competence incorporates unit 18.6a of the National Metal
and Engineering Competency Standards
Hydro turbine types may include Pelton wheel, Francis and Kaplin
Work site may be affected by nearby plant or processes, e.g. water, noise, oil, confined space and ambient temperatures
Assembly may entail basic and complex/advanced levelling and aligning procedures
Components may include white metal bearings, tilting pad bearings, lubrication system components, governor system components, transmissions and couplings
Test equipment may include optical fibre scope, pressure recorders and vibration monitors
Work completion details may include plant and maintenance records, job cards, check sheets, on device labelling updates and reporting and/or documenting equipment defects
Isolations can refer to electrical/mechanical or other associated process
