Description
This unit covers the coordination of response to discrete and interdependent protection operations due to system faults.The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence/registration to practice in the workplace subject to regulations for undertaking of electrical work. Other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licencing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Plan response to discrete/interdependent protection operations
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) practices/procedures and environmental and sustainable energy procedures, which may influence the preparation of the switching program, are reviewed and determined
  • 1.2 Purpose of the response is established after data is analysed and expected outcomes of the work are confirmed with appropriate personnel
  • 1.3 Established policies, procedures and specifications for the response are obtained or established with appropriate personnel
  • 1.4 Response to discrete/interdependent protection operations are discussed with and/or directed to appropriate personnel in order to ascertain the scope of the work/testing required
  • 1.5 Testing parameters are ascertained from established policies, procedures and specifications
  • 1.6 Equipment/tools and personal protective equipment (PPE) are selected based on specified performance criteria and established procedures
  • 1.7 Work roles and tasks are allocated according to requirements and individual competencies
  • 1.8 Work is prioritised and sequenced for the most efficient/effective outcome, completed within an acceptable timeframe, to a quality standard and in accordance with established procedures
