Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes & performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.
Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:
*applying WHS/OHS requirements
*determining characteristics of electrical equipment
*selecting tools, equipment & testing devices
*identifying the point of isolation
*preparing to & disconnect/ reconnect electrical equipment
*connecting & using voltmeters & ammeters
*isolating, testing & tagging accessories
*connecting a simple electrical circuit
*measuring voltage & current within a simple circuit
*producing a wiring diagram/ connecting a simple circuit following a wiring diagram & producing a schematic diagram
*using an analogue & digital multimeter for voltage measurement
*measuring resistance using a digital multimeter
*conducting insulation resistance tests
*checking the polarity of a three-core extension cord
*measuring current using a clip-on taking each circuit conductor in turn
*terminating cables using stud, screw, tunnel & lug terminal types
*identifying the type & arrangement of circuits supplying equipment that is to be disconnected
*testing the availability of supply for electrical equipment about to be disconnected
*locating isolation device/s
*determining the method of isolation to be used
*isolating a supply at a fuse & circuit breaker
*undertaking tests to determine if the electrical equipment is turned off
*using danger tags
*identifying the type & arrangement of circuits supplying equipment that is to be disconnected from a single phase &/or multiphase supply of voltages up to 1,000 V a.c. or 1,500 V d.c.
