Wire & Test Block (AUEC2-010)
This unit identifies the training and development required in order that the learner can demonstrate that they are competent in being able to: Use and terminate a range of cables, such as single and multicore cables, screened cables, fire resistant and armoured cables.
Description
The learner will be required to make a variety of terminations and to connect a range of electrical components, such as switches/switchgear, distribution panels, motors and starters, control systems, sensors and actuators, safety devices, and luminaires. They will be required to select the appropriate tools, materials and equipment to use, based on the operations to be performed and the components to be connected. They will be expected to use appropriate tools and techniques for the wiring of the various electrical components and connectors that make up the electrical system/circuit. In addition, they will be expected to make all necessary electrical connections to the switches, relays, sensors/actuators and other devices, as appropriate to the equipment and circuit being produced. The wiring and testing activities will include making all necessary checks and adjustments to the circuit, including continuity, polarity, insulation resistance values, and ensuring that the equipment functions to the specification.
