Unit of Competency TLIC4073 - Set up, operate and shut down a distributed power system
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to set up, operate and shut down a distributed power system in accordance with organisational procedures, relevant codes of practice and rail industry standards.It includes setting up a remote control system; setting up a lead control system; and operating, monitoring and shutting down a distributed power system.Distributed power refers to the physical distribution, at intermediate points throughout the length of a train, of separate motive power units. Such motive power units may be single units or multiple consists, remotelycontrolled from the lead locomotive.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations or, where this is not available, in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate rail corridor 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 include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, rail industry standards, codes of practice and operation manuals.
