This unit identifies the training and development required in order that the learner can demonstrate that they are competent in being able to:
Use and terminate a range of cables, such as single and multicore cables, screened cables, fire resistant and armoured cables. They will be required to make a variety of terminations and to connect a range of electrical components, such as switches/switchgear, distribution panels, motors and starters, control systems, sensors and actuators, safety devices, and luminaires.
They will be required to select the appropriate tools, materials and equipment to use, based on the operations to be performed and the components to be connected. They will be expected to use appropriate tools and techniques for the wiring of the various electrical components and connectors that make up the electrical system/circuit. In addition, they will be expected to make all necessary electrical connections to the switches, relays, sensors/actuators and other devices, as appropriate to the equipment and circuit being produced. The wiring and testing activities will include making all necessary checks and adjustments to the circuit, including continuity, polarity, insulation resistance values and ensuring that the equipment functions to the specification.
Their responsibilities will require them to comply with health and safety requirements and organisational policy and procedures for the wiring and testing activities undertaken. They will need to take account of any potential difficulties or problems that may arise with the wiring and testing activities, or with the tools and equipment used, and to seek appropriate help and advice in determining and implementing a suitable solution. They will work under a high level of supervision, whilst taking responsibility for your own actions and for the quality and accuracy of the work that you carry out.
Their underpinning knowledge will provide an understanding of their work, and will enable them to apply appropriate electrical wiring and testing procedures and techniques safely. They will understand the wiring and testing methods and procedures used, and their application, and will know about the various cables and components used to produce the circuits, to the required depth to provide a sound basis for carrying out the activities to the required specification.
They will understand the safety precautions required when carrying out the wiring and testing activities, especially those for ensuring the safe isolation of the equipment and circuits produced. They will be required to demonstrate safe working practices throughout, and will understand the responsibility they owe to themselves and others in the workplace.
