UETTDRTS21 Maintain interdependent network protection and control systems

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UET Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package.

Application

This unit covers the maintenance of network protection and control in interdependent situations and includes isolation, inspection, monitoring, testing, adjustment, and repair, refurbishment and/or overhaul and functional checks of interdependent network protection and control systems. It includes the requirements to prove the functionality of interdependent and discrete schemes, such as circuit breaker fail, master controlled earth fault, inter-tripping, blocking, synchronising, pilot wire, phase comparison, load shedding, voltage control, parallel operation and load rejection. 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 licencing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit.
