Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to produce electrical schematic drawings complying with Australian and international standards and is primarily for those working within a drafting work environment with engineering or manufacturing applications.Critical dimensions and specifications for the drawing are predetermined and drawings are produced under supervision. Drawings may be carried out with or without the use of computer-aided design (CAD) systems, and show the physical arrangement of components, electrical circuits and connections between devices, using appropriate symbols. A matching reference list of circuit components is also produced.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
