Overview

This unit of competency covers the identification and matching of electrical supply and electrical system equipment and components to mechanical, manufacturing and mechatronic engineering applications. It includes electrical principles and laws, inductive and capacitive effects on AC supplies, control system power supply fundamentals, electrical safety and earthing systems, electrical motors and motor controls.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

  • evaluating relevance of WHS, regulatory requirements, standards and codes of practice;
  • evaluating multiple solutions against design criteria, risk, sustainability and cost factors;
  • applying life cycle design and sustainability parameters to identification of task;
  • solving problems and making decisions with systems thinking approach for contingencies and constraints and continuous improvement;
  • reviewing sustainability implications, functions and features of devices, machines and systems employing electricity and electrical principles;
  • integrating electrical evaluation techniques with overall engineering application requirements, including mechanical; fluid power; electronic; heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R); and controller and networking;
  • assessing and applying basic electrical principles and techniques, software basic analysis and graphics skills and techniques to engineering tasks;
  • ensuring safe electrical working practice;
  • ensuring compatibility of units in calculations, and;
  • reporting and documenting results of investigation, evaluation and application, calculations, diagrams, programs and files.

Required reading

The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by the Polytechnic and/or via the Polytechnic e-learning system.
