Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
UEECD0007 Apply work health and safety regulations, codes and practices in the workplace
UEEEL0021 Solve problems in magnetic and electromagnetic devices
and
UEECD0043 Solve problems in direct current circuits
or
UEECD0044 Solve problems in multiple path circuits
UEECD0046 Solve problems in single path circuits
Course Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to determine correct operation of direct current (d.c.) machines and provide solutions as they apply to electrical installations and equipment.
It includes working safely, the use of testing and measuring devices, and providing solutions derived from measurements and calculations to predictable problems in d.c. machines.
The skills and knowledge described in this unit require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V d.c.
Competency development activities in this unit are subject to regulations directly related to licensing. Where a licence or permit to practice is not held, a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship, may be required.
Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to electrical work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations.
