Electrical Studies LMS

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to provide solutions and report on electrotechnology problems.

It includes performing relevant numerical calculations to identify workplace electrotechnology problems, applying relevant problem-solving techniques, using a range of fundamental mathematical processes and techniques to resolve problems and documenting the solution/s.

Typical electrotechnology problems are those encountered in meeting routine performance requirements and compliance with industry standards, interpreting the operating parameters of equipment and dealing with equipment malfunctions. Typical reports are those based on routine structures and formats and require the application of routine communication fundamentals.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Cross Discipline

Electrotechnology

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to develop, connect and functionally test electrical power and control circuits that perform specific control functions.

It includes working safely, developing schematic diagrams and converting them to wiring diagrams, selecting and connecting contactors and control devices to perform a specific function. It also includes testing electrical control circuits and completing circuit development activities documentation.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V direct current (d.c.).

Competency development activities in this unit are subject to regulations directly related to licensing. Where a licence or permit to practice is not held, a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship, may be required.

Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to electrical work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations.
