Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
UEENEEG007B Select and arrange equipment for general electrical installations
Course Description
This unit covers the planning of circuit and equipment for electrical installations where standardised arrangements for service and Current Transformers metering equipment are used, not exceeding 400 A per phase. This encompasses schemes for protection of persons and property, correct functioning, compatibility with the supply, arrangement of circuits, metering and control, cable route planning, specifying type and rating of switchgear, controlgear, protection devices and wiring based on calculated and deemed-to-comply solutions and planning documentation.

Overview of Assessment
This course will be assessed through a range of classroom based exercises, assignments and progressive tests.
Assessment Tasks
 Assessment task 1 ( Project 100%)
 Project to produce a plan and electrical schedule of electrical installations with a LV demand up to 400A per phase of the metering, erathing , protection and power requirements for the installation accordance with the relevant Australian Standards, most notably AS/NZ1102, AS/NZ 3000 and AS/NZ 3008.
Particular emphasis in general installation planning process will be on:
aA. Arranging electrical installations to comply with control, metering, safety and other regulatory and functional requirements.
B. Specifying appropriate type and size of cables.
C. Specifying protection methods and devices that meet co-ordination requirements for overload and shortcircuit protection.
D. Specifying switchgear and control gear that meet fault level, current, voltage and IP ratings and functional requirements.
E. Selecting appropriate earthing system components.
F. Documenting installation plan, specifications of equipment, equipment locations, cable routes and schedules and supporting calculations.
G. Arranging electrical installations to comply with control, metering, safety and other regulatory and functional requirements.
