Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package. |
Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to assemble, mount and connect control gear and switchgear, including the interconnections within a switchboard enclosure intended to operate at voltages up to 1,000 volts (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 1,500 V direct current (d.c.). It includes working safely; following standards, specifications and component manufacturer requirements; matching equipment with that specified; terminating cables; connecting wiring and completing necessary documentation. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. |
