Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to solve problems in single path circuits.It includes working safely; applying problem-solving procedures, including the use of basic voltage, current and resistance measuring devices; and providing known solutions to predictable circuit problems.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to work on single path electrical circuits
- 1.1 Scope of work to be undertaken is determined from relevant documentation, electrical drawings or relevant person/s
- 1.2 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified and applied
- 1.3 Electrical hazards are identified, risks are assessed, and control measures are implemented
- 1.4 Advice is sought from the relevant person/s to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others
- 1.5 Materials required for work are identified and accessed in accordance with workplace procedures
- 1.6 Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to carry out work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety
2 Solve problems in single path electrical circuits
- 2.1 The need to test or measure live electrical work is determined in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and, when necessary, conducted in accordance with workplace procedures
- 2.2 Circuits are checked as isolated in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
- 2.3 Expected circuit parameters are calculated from relevant component ratings/specifications
- 2.4 Circuit parameters are measured in accordance with industry standards and checked against expected values
- 2.5 Circuit problems are assessed using measured and calculated values as they apply to single path, single source circuits
- 2.6 Circuit solutions are determined from measured and calculated values of resistance, voltage, current, and power in single path circuits
- 2.7 Solutions are tested in accordance with workplace procedures and industry standards
- 2.8 Problems are resolved without damage to equipment, circuits, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy practices
- 2.9 Unplanned situations are responded to in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment
3 Complete work and document problem solving activities
- 3.1 WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and procedures are followed
- 3.2 Worksite is cleaned and made safe in accordance with workplace procedures
- 3.3 Justification for solutions used to solve circuit problems is documented
- 3.4 Work completion is documented, and relevant personnel are notified in accordance with workplace procedures
