Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to use basic electro-measuring devices to check variables and applies to the measurement of voltage, current, resistance, power and frequency on a.c. and d.c. circuits up to 1000 volts.Measurement skills for specific applications and context are covered by other units.Where interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.Where simple measurement tasks such as reading of fixed devices, testing continuity, and tasks requiring the use of devices mounted in for example measuring jigs unit MEM12001 Use comparison and basic measuring devices and unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements, should also be selected as appropriate.Where electrical/electronic measuring devices require the connection or disconnection of circuitry appropriate units should also be selected.In circumstances where the application of this unit or legislation dictates, relevant units covering first aid and/or emergency procedures should also be considered.Some jurisdictions may require the holder of this unit to be licensed or certified and users should check with the relevant authorities.Band: AUnit Weight: 2
