Unit of Competency MEM18045 - Fault find and repair electrical equipment/components up to 250 volts single phase supply
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to locate and rectify faults in equipment and components using up to 250 volts single phase power where they are disconnected from their electrical supply and this would also typically cover plug-in appliances.It also covers basic mechanical disconnection, dismantling and reassembly of equipment components, enclosures and drives. This unit should not be selected if unit MEM18046 Fault find and repair electrical equipment/components up to 1000 volts a.c./1500 volts d.c. has been selected. 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.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: 4
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


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.

Componentsinclude one (1) or more of the following:

brushes

armatures

windings

relays

programmable controllers

other electronic switching devices

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

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.
