Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency has been developed for Engineering Tradesperson – industrial electrician apprenticeship training and the recognition of trade-level skills in installing low voltage cabling/wiring; fitting off accessories, appliances and equipment to an electrical switchboard in a variety of situations; and connecting consumer mains to an installation.It covers a comprehensive understanding of AS/NZS 3000:2007 Electrical Installations (known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules) and regulatory requirements and knowledge of other standards that apply to particular situations and installations for selecting and fixing of accessories; the location of switchboards; arrangement and identification of switchboard equipment; and access requirements, including the separation and minimising the spread of fire.This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to meet the Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council (ERAC).Essential Performance Capabilities (EPCs):EPC 29 – Knowledge of the AS/NZS 3000 requirements for safety services and issues relevant to HV installations. Standards referenced for electrical installations related to transportable structures and vehicles, shows and carnivals, patient areas, marinas and boats, and construction/demolition sites.EPC 36 – Demonstrate the knowledge and skills for the installation of wiring support systems.EPC 39 – Determine and apply AS/NZS 3000 requirements for the installing, terminating and testing of catenary supported cables, pendant-type socket outlets and trailing cables.AndEssential Performance Capabilities (EPCs) classified as ‘critical’:EPC 24 – Demonstrate an understanding of the AS/NZS 3000 and regulatory requirements for the location of switchboards and the arrangement of switchboard equipment in installations. Methods for determining prospective fault current. Switchboard form types.EPC 25 – Demonstrate an understanding of the AS/NZS 3000 and regulatory requirements for the installation of electrical equipment in given damp situations and wet areas. IP rating of electrical equipment.EPC 26 – Demonstrate the appropriate methods for the installation, modification and testing of electrical installations and equipment for construction and demolition sites, complying with AS/NZS 3012 and applicable workplace safety legislation. Need for calibration of instruments.EPC 27 – Demonstrate knowledge of AS/NZS 3000 and local regulatory requirements for the installation of aerial conductors and underground wiring. Including specialist cables.EPC 28 – Demonstrate knowledge of AS/NZS 3000 requirements for electrical installations in hazardous areas and an awareness of the standards to which it refers. EPC 35 – Demonstrate the knowledge and skill to install and terminate a variety of electrical cables in a wide range of applications (including final subcircuits) to AS/NZS 3000.EPC 37 – Demonstrate knowledge and skills to install final subcircuit wiring into switchboards and connect to switchboard equipment in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 and local supply authority requirements.EPC 38 – Connect consumer mains to an installation, in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 and local supply authority requirements.Some jurisdictions require the holder of this unit to be licensed or certified and users should check with the relevant authorities.Band: AUnit Weight: 4 | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Assessors must: have vocational competency in installing low voltage cabling and fitting off accessories, appliances and equipment at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011 or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring State as the case requires. Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills. Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. |
