Description | |||
Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to undertake the maintenance of all battery cells or banks. Batteries store energy so that it can be used when needed, batteries can be charged, discharged and recharged several times. The types of equipment supported by batteries in a power generation facility can include emergency lighting systems and alarm and protection systems. Competency in this unit requires the ability to plan and prepare for battery cell/bank maintenance work, conduct tests on battery cell/bank, analyse results of tests to determine its capability, perform routine maintenance, report abnormalities and documenting work when completed. Individuals will, in general, work as an operator, in a power generation facility.Power generation plant operators are typically trained and authorised to isolate, prepare plant and issue permits to work.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Note: Workplace practiceThe application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence or training permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on gas and electrical installations. Additional conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements. | ||
