Employability Skills | |||
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 locating and rectifying faults in alternating current (AC) machines and circuits.It covers characteristics including their construction and operating principles. It also includes their application, control and protection methods, reversal of rotation and the requirements to limit starting current as well as skills in testing and fault finding, including abnormal operating conditions.This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to meet the Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council (ERAC).Essential Performance Capabilities (EPCs):EPC 12 – Demonstrate the rationale and operating principles and characteristics of three phase induction motors and generators. Describe AS/NZS 3000 requirements and knowledge of local Supply Authority requirements for three phase motor installations and starters.EPC 14 – Demonstrate knowledge of possible causes of malfunction of three phase induction motors and demonstrate the tests required for diagnosing faults.EPC 15 – Describe the operating principles, characteristics, and suitability of typical control methods for single-phase motors and their key components.AndEssential Performance Capability (EPC) classified as ‘critical’:EPC 13 – Demonstrate a knowledge of methods of electric motor selection, starting, connection and protection.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 fault finding, testing and rectifying AC machines and circuits 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. |
