Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to select and arrange electrical equipment into distribution circuits for installations associated with construction and demolition sites, transportable structures and vehicles, including their site supplies, marinas, electromedical treatment areas (patient areas), and shows and carnivals operating up to 1,000 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 1,500 V direct current (d.c.).It includes arranging the installation for correct functioning and safe connection to supply by the selection of switchgear, control gear, protection devices and wiring based on calculated and deemed-to-comply solutions. It also includes completing electrical installation documentation.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 V a.c or 120 V 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, a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship, may be required. 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.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to select equipment
- 1.1 Scope and nature of the electrical installation is determined from job specifications
- 1.2 Safety and relevant regulatory electrical installation requirements are identified and applied
2 Arrange installation into circuits
- 2.1 Circuits are arranged to ensure safe and functional operation of the installation
- 2.2 Circuits are arranged to comply with applicable technical industry standards and job specification requirements
- 2.3 Earthing is arranged to comply with the multiple earthed neutral (MEN) system requirements
3 Select cables, protection and switchgear
- 3.1 Wiring is selected for suitability for the environments in which they are installed
- 3.2 Cable conductor sizes are selected to meet current-carrying capacity requirements and voltage-drop and fault-loop impedance limitations
- 3.3 Protection methods and devices are selected to meet coordination requirements for overload and short circuit protection
- 3.4 Switchgear and control gear are selected to meet current, voltage and ingress protection (IP) ratings and functional requirements
- 3.5 Earthing system components are selected to meet requirements of the MEN system
- 3.6 Evidence is obtained that electrical equipment selected complies with safety requirements
4 Document electrical installation
- 4.1 Electrical installation equipment selections and calculations are documented in accordance with workplace procedures
- 4.2 Electrical installation arrangement and specifications for items are documented in accordance with workplace procedures and forwarded to appropriate person/s
