Apply awareness of motive power unit fundamentals

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply awareness of motive power unit fundamentals.

It includes identifying basic motive power unit types, air/ vacuum systems, electrical systems, mechanical systems, control systems, cooling and lubricating systems, auxiliary equipment, safety system equipment and their basic operations.

This unit is intended as an introduction for people entering the rail industry who will be working on or around motive power units.

A motive power unit is a rail vehicle used to provide the power to move itself or other vehicles.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
