Overview

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to install a sustainable extra low voltage (ELV) energy supply system. It requires the ability to plan an installation process, carry out the installation, use diagnostic tools to troubleshoot the installation and commission the sustainable energy power system.
The unit also includes the application of relevant work health and safety/occupational health and safety (WHS/OHS) requirements and application of risk control measures.The unit applies to a person preparing for further study and/or employment such as an apprenticeship in the electrotechnology industry.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & 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:

  • install, test and commission at least one (1) type of sustainable ELV energy supply system in accordance to a work plan
  • use relevant diagnostic tools to test functionality of the system to meet job specifications
  • apply risk control measures and safe work practices during the installation.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:

  • types and functionality of sustainable extra low voltage (ELV) energy supply system includes but is not limited to:
  • photovoltaic
  • solar radiation
  • micro-hydro
  • wind energy conversion
  • ELV operating voltage and installation requirements as defined in the current version of AS/NZS 3000
  • Installation consideration of each type of system
  • application of diagnostic tools and test equipment to determine the energy system optimum performance
  • application of (WHS/OHS) requirements and safety work practices relevant to the installation of the different types of energy saving systems
  • managing safety hazards and risk control at the installation site.
