Application
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to identify, diagnose and rectify power quality and distribution faults and report operational data relevant to power generation systems in the pulp or paper industry.
This unit applies to senior operators and production specialists who troubleshoot and rectify power generation systems, in a pulp and paper manufacturing facility. This typically involves working in a facility with complex integrated equipment and continuous operations.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. Where the turbine equipment falls under the category for which a High Risk Work Licence is required, this unit should not be used and the appropriate unit should be sought.
