Electrical switchboard design license#
The skills and knowledge described in this unit do not require a license to practice in the work place. It applies to any formal recognition for this standard at the aligned AQF 6 level. This unit is intended for competency development entry-level employment based programs incorporated in approved contracts of training. This encompasses designing schemes for protection of persons and property and correct functioning, compatibility with the supply, and arrangement of circuits, determination of fault levels, effective switchgear, control gear, and protection against over current, over and under voltage and wiring based on calculations to meet required safety and performance standards and functional requirements. This unit covers the design of supply and distribution arrangements, control, protection and selection of equipment for switchboards with low voltage demand greater than 400 amperes per phase.
