Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to terminate, disconnect or reconnect electrical wiring, including all types of cords and cables and circuits, excluding specialist cables.All testing is undertaken on completed circuits where these are not connected to main supply, using appropriate methods including continuity and resistance checks.Where soldering/desoldering of electrical/electronic components is required see unit MEM05001 Perform manual soldering/desoldering - electrical/electronic components and unit MEM05002 Perform high reliability soldering and desoldering, as appropriate.Where termination and connection of specialist cables such as mineral insulated, steel wire and armoured cables is required see unit MEM10011 Terminate and connect specialist cables.This unit does not cover the competencies required for energising and testing of the circuit. Some jurisdictions may require the holder of this unit to be licensed or certified and users should check with the relevant authorities.Band: AUnit Weight: 3
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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.

Electrical wiring includes one (1) or more of the following:

wiring associated with:

control wiring

machinery

other electrical apparatus

Terminations/connections include one (1) or more of the following:

clamping

crimping

pin connection

soldered joints

plugs

sockets

clamping of cables and wires and sealing entry points where required

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.
