Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENTS	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1	Prepare to work on multiple path circuits	1.1	Scope of work to be undertaken is determined from relevant documentation, electrical drawings or relevant person/s
1.2	Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) workplace procedures for a given work area are identified and applied
1.3	Electrical hazards are identified, risks are assessed, and control measures are implemented
1.4	Advice is sought from the relevant person/s to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others
1.5	Materials required for work are identified and accessed in accordance with workplace procedures
1.6	Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to carry out work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety
2	Solve multiple path circuit problems	2.1	The need to test or measure live is determined in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and when necessary conducted in accordance with workplace procedures
2.2	Circuits are checked as isolated in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
2.3	Expected circuit parameters are calculated from relevant component ratings/specifications
2.4	Circuit parameters are measured in accordance with industry standards and checked against expected values
2.5	Circuit problems are assessed using measured and calculated values as they apply to multiple path circuits
2.6	Circuit solutions are determined from measured and calculated values of resistance, voltage, current and power in extra-low voltage (ELV) multiple path circuits
2.7	Solutions are tested in accordance with workplace procedures and industry standards
2.8	Problems are resolved without damage to equipment, circuits, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy practices
