Issue Date: June 2024
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to maintain network infrastructure electrical equipment in the electricity supply industry (ESI).
It includes the maintenance of electrical equipment and associated hardware, including fuse switches, drop out switches, sectionalisers, links, surge arrestors, gas filled and/or oil filled switches that are relevant to transmission, distribution and rail traction networks. It also includes the repair and/or replacement of 'like for like' electrical equipment and associated hardware as well as the termination and/or connection of this equipment according to requirements, and sampling of insulating oils.
It also includes identifying faults, performing pre-commissioning tests involving the equipment/system and the interpretation of these tests against agreed specifications.
It excludes the energisation of the equipment maintained in a highly complex, interdependent and interconnected electricity supply network system, where the effects of unintended consequences on the system are high risk.
The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence/registration to practice in the workplace.
Other conditions may apply under State and Territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirement which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit.
