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
Circuit Theory 1
Course Description
Students will develop practical skills in AC electrical measurement , testing and problem solving related to working with the equations in AC series & parallel circuits in practical activities and work simulation projects.
This learning unit is one of a group of units designed to collectively meet underpinning skill & applied knowledge essential for developing the following Core Competency –
UTE NES 504 bA – Diagnose faults in advanced systems and associated apparatus- Electrical
which is contained in the National Electrotechnology Training Package UTE99 http://www.anta.gov.au/tp
National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria
National Element Code & Title: |
UTENES504BA Diagnose & rectify faults in advanced systems & apparatus |
Element: |
o 504.1 Plan and prepare for diagnosis of faults in advanced systems and associated apparatus. |
Performance Criteria: |
1.1 Diagnosis of faults is planned and prepared to ensure OH&S policies and procedures are followed and the work is appropriately sequenced in accordance with requirement |
Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
Students will participate face to face in
•classroom tutorial activities to consolidate the theory of Electrical concepts, which may include calculations for electrical quantities but not limited to: voltage, current, resistance and power.
•practical activities to develop skill in construction of electrical circuits and measurement of electrical quantities: voltage, current, resistance, using analog and digital multimeters, oscilloscope and other currently available measuring instruments.
•Work simulation projects involving the design and construction AC circuits, development of testing procedure to verify the performance specification, diagnosis of faults in the systems and completion of commissioning process. Specifications will be provided with work simulation (team or individual basis) or may be negotiated to suit a workplace based application
Projects may be undertaken as part of a team or individual basis.
It is expected that students would require approximately 20% of course hours to be allocated for independent study to do project research, design, construction, testing and problem solving activities.
Access to computer / Internet resources are essential
