This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to diagnose, locate and rectify faults in electrical equipment/components up to 1000 volts a.c./1500 volts d.c. single and multi-phase power where these are disconnected from the electrical supply.

It covers basic mechanical disconnection, dismantling and reassembly of equipment components, enclosures and drives.

Where disconnection and reconnection of fixed-wired equipment is required unit MEM18049 Disconnect/reconnect fixed wired equipment up to 1000 volts a.c./1500 volts d.c. should also be selected.

Where work involves up to 250 volt single phase supply only then unit MEM18045 Fault find and repair electrical equipment/components up to 250 volts single phase supply should be selected.

Some jurisdictions may require the holder of this unit to be licensed or certified and users should check with the relevant authorities.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Equipmentincludes one (1) or more of the following:	single and multi-phase motor drive and heating appliances relays coils transformers thermostats gauges illuminating devices switches circuit fuses and breakers
Componentsinclude one (1) or more of the following:	brushes armatures windings contactors relays programmable controllers other electronic switching devices switches fuses circuit breakers relays transformers semi-conductor devices regulators motors
Appropriate fault-finding techniquesinclude:	testing for voltage, current, frequency, polarity, phase, circuit continuity, insulation resistance and earth continuity
Test equipmentincludes one (1) or more of the following:	continuity testers ammeters voltmeters multimeters tong testers wattmeters cathode ray oscilloscopes

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
