UETDRRT003 Install rail traction bonds

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 involves the skills and knowledge required to install rail traction bonds in the electricity supply industry (ESI). It includes the preparation and installation of temporary and permanent traction bonds, bonding cables, bonding equipment and hardware whilst undertaking safe working practices on or about the running line/track, identifying and confirming road/rail management plans and electrical permits. It also includes checks to confirm bonds, bonding cables, bonding equipment and hardware have been correctly installed in accordance with design, ensuring traction bonding is fit for service, and installation data and relevant quality assurance documentation is completed. The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence/registration to practice in the workplace. Other conditions may also apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit.
