Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package.

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:
reading and interpreting drawings related to and apparatus locations and circuit connections placing and securing system components accurately maintaining fire integrity connecting system components to comply with requirements dealing with unplanned events applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures and practices, including the use of risk control measures applying sustainable energy principles and practices checking isolation of circuits/machines/systems conducting quality checks coordinating work with relevant person/s determining live electrical testing/measurement requirements identifying and accessing materials, tools, equipment and testing devices installing and setting up stand-alone extra-low voltage (ELV) micro-hydro systems.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
micro-hydro systems ELV installation and maintenance processes, including: micro-hydro systems ELV installation processes encompassing: selection of an appropriate micro-hydro system taking into account the topology of the site, local council approvals, environmental considerations, site access and transport of equipment, water and power transmission distances, and daily and seasonal load profiles appropriate methods and safety procedures for dam or weir construction, watercourse construction and/or penstock installation, and turbine installation appropriate installation, testing, commissioning, fault diagnosis and rectification procedures using appropriate safety procedures schematic and wiring diagrams for the micro-hydro system showing the general circuit layout and protection between the micro-hydro system, batteries, inverter and loads according to Australian Standards AS/NZS 3000 Electrical installations (known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules), AS/NZS 4509 Stand-alone power systems, and AS 4086.2 Secondary batteries for use with stand-alone power systems - Installation and maintenance requirements safety procedures for the installation, commissioning, fault diagnosis of system components micro-hydro systems maintenance processes encompassing: appropriate maintenance methods using appropriate safety procedures maintenance schedule for the system safety procedures for the maintenance of system components relevant manufacturer specifications relevant safe work method statements (SWMS)/job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements relevant workplace documentation relevant workplace policies and procedures.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in suitable simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Resources for assessment must include access to: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to installing and setting up ELV micro-hydro systems applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
