Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to verify compliance and functionality of an extra-low voltage (ELV) renewable energy (RE) installation.It includes preparing to inspect and test a RE installation, visually inspecting and conducting safety testing on the installation, and reporting inspection and test findings.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to inspect and test a RE installation
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and procedures for relevant work area are identified and applied in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 1.2 WHS/OHS hazards are identified, risks assessed, reported to relevant person/s and workplace procedures for risk control measures applied in preparation for work
  • 1.3 Relevant documentation and/or industry standards are reviewed and interpreted
  • 1.4 Relevant person/s is consulted to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others
  • 1.5 Tools, equipment and testing devices required to verify compliance are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
  • 1.6 Preparatory work is checked to ensure no unnecessary damage has occurred and complies with requirements
2 Visually inspect and conduct safety testing on the RE installation
  • 2.1 Need to test or measure live electrical work is determined in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and conducted in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 2.2 Circuits/machines/plant are isolated in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and workplace procedures
  • 2.3 Suitability of wiring is checked for the environment/s in which they are installed and protected from damage or overheating
  • 2.4 Cable conductor sizes that meet current-carrying capacity requirements and voltage-drop are acquired
  • 2.5 Protection methods and devices are validated as meeting coordination requirements for overload and short circuit protection
  • 2.6 Switchgear and control gear are validated as correctly rated and appropriate for functional requirements
  • 2.7 Evidence that electrical equipment complies with safety requirements is cited
  • 2.8 Correct location of earthing system and size of conductors is checked
  • 2.9 Markings on switchboards are checked for accuracy, clarity and compliance with requirements
  • 2.10 Visual inspection is conducted to ensure that system complies with requirements
  • 2.11 Testing is conducted to verify that circuit connections are correct, voltage drop is within limits, circuit protection operates as intended, polarities are correct, and charging rates are compliant with specifications
3 Report inspection and test findings
  • 3.1 Worksite is cleaned and made safe in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.2 Non-compliance defects are identified and reported in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.3 Recommendations for rectifying defects are made in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.4 Documentation is completed in accordance with workplace procedures
