Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UET Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package Release 2.0. |
Application
This unit covers the preparation of a basic switching schedule for low voltage (LV) network. It includes planning basic outages and taking into account loading of network components. It also includes the calculation of network loading conditions to ensure the network is operating within design parameters. The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence/registration to practice in the workplace subject to regulations for undertaking of electrical work. Other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit. |
