Unit of Competency UETTDRDP15 - Inspect, maintain and restore energised low voltage overhead distribution network infrastructure
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit covers the inspection of overhead structures, such as poles and/or other structures other than towers, and the maintenance of overhead energised low voltage (LV) conductors and cables. It includes the conducting of LV switching operations involving the operation of circuit breaking and isolation devices from a given switching schedule in accordance with enterprise procedures. It covers LV distribution systems in field situations but also includes paralleling in accordance with the switching schedule. It also includes inspection of electrical apparatus, such as overhead conductors and or cables, underground and overhead transition points, electrical equipment, such as pole-mounted transformers, switchgear, hardware and/or earthing systems. It encompasses the completion of inspection reports and other relevant documentation in accordance with requirements.The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit requires a licence/registration to practice in the workplace subject to regulations for undertaking of electrical work. Other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licencing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit.
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.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

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.
