Overview

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to provide engineering solutions for problems in complex multiple path circuits.It includes preparing tools, equipment and materials; and providing solutions for complex multiple path circuits. It also includes completing work and documentation.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each units learning outcomes & 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:

  • analysing complex multiple path circuits
  • applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including
    -using risk control measures
  • completing work and documenting problem-solving activities
  • completing written justification of solutions
  • coordinating work with others
  • dealing with unplanned events in accordance with problem-solving techniques and workplace procedures
  • determining the operating parameters of existing circuits
  • inspecting and testing active systems
  • obtaining and following work instructions
  • obtaining and using tools, equipment and products
  • preparing to solve problems in complex multiple path circuits
  • providing effective solutions to circuit problems from measurements and calculations
  • providing solutions for problems in complex multiple path circuits
  • using sustainable energy practices in accordance with workplace procedures
  • using testing devices.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:

  • complex alternating current (a.c.) power and maximum power transfer theorem
  • complex impedance
  • mesh and nodal analysis for a.c. linear circuits
  • mesh and nodal analysis for direct current (d.c.) linear circuits
