Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to solve problems in low voltage (LV) electrical network circuits in a very remote community in the electricity supply industry (ESI).It includes establishing correct operation of single and multi-phase LV electrical network circuits and solving circuit problems as they apply to servicing, fault-finding and installation work function.It also includes safe working practices, issues related to fault protection, power factor and multiple earthed neutral (MEN) systems and the use of voltage, current and resistance measuring devices to provide solutions to LV electrical network circuit problems derived from calculated and measured parameters.The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence/registration to practice in the workplace.Other conditions may also apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit.
