Conduct compliance and functional verification of electrical apparatus and existing circuits

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x

Established OHS risk control measures and procedures in preparation for the work are followed

1.3

Safety hazards, which have not previously been identified, are noted and established risk control measures are implemented.

1.4

Documentation or deemed to comply standard on which electrical apparatus and existing circuits is based is reviewed and understood.

1.5

Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others involved on the work site.

1.6

Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to verify compliance are obtained in accordance with established procedures and checked for correct operation and safety.

1.7

Preparatory work is checked to ensure no damage has occurred and complies with requirements.

2

Visually inspect and conduct safety testing on electrical apparatus and existing circuits.

2.1

OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed.

2.2

The need to test or measure live is determined in strict accordance with OHS requirements and when necessary conducted within established safety procedures.

2.3

Circuits/machines/plant are checked as being isolated where necessary in strict accordance OHS requirements and following switch-off, lock out and tagging procedures.

2.4

Knowledge of electrical principles and their application to electrical apparatus and existing circuits is drawn upon in determining whether an electrical apparatus/existing circuits is compliant and functions safely and as intended.

2.5

Wiring is checked for suitability for the environments in which they are installed and suitably protected from damage or overheating.

2.6

Protection methods and devices are validated as meeting co-ordination requirements for overload and short-circuit protection.

2.7

Switchgear and control gear is validated as being appropriately rated and meeting functional requirements.

2.8

Evidence that electrical equipment complies with safety requirements is cited.

2.9

Earthing system components are checked that they are correctly located and conductors correctly sized.

2.12

Mandatory tests are conducted on all connected electrical apparatus and existing circuits to verify that: earthing conductor resistance is sufficiently low; insulation resistance is sufficiently high; all polarities are correct; and circuit connections are correct.

2.12

Testing is conducted to verify that: fault-loop impedance is sufficiently low and residual current devices operates as intended.

3

Report inspection and test findings.
