Study Notes
Course Resources
- Access to Moodle UEE30820 requires enrollment key from the teacher.
- Completion of Course Inductions is mandatory for resource access.
- Unit CO23 spans 4 years; progress reports on competency development are required each semester.
Required Resources
- Wiring Rules AS/NZS 3000:2018 must be downloaded and is not accepted in electronic form.
- Service and Installation Rules of NSW (October 2019) are to be downloaded; electronic copies are unacceptable.
- Metering Requirements Annexure (July 2018) was separated from Service and Installation Rules for market competition.
Assessment Overview
- Six assessments required for competency in the unit.
- Topic Assessments allow five attempts, with 100% pass required prior to Knowledge Tests.
- Knowledge Tests consist of closed book assessments with a minimum passing score of 70%.
Unit Structure
- Course content covers various aspects of electrical installation safety and regulations, including:
- Protection for Safety
- Hazards in Electrical Installations
- Circuit Control Arrangements
- Various forms of electrical protection including overvoltage and overload.
AS/NZS 3000:2018 Overview
- Part 1 defines minimum regulatory requirements for safe electrical installations.
- Part 2 focuses on practices to ensure compliance with safety requirements.
Protection Principles
- AS/NZS 3000 intends to safeguard persons, livestock, and property from electric shocks and hazards.
- Fundamental principles highlight the management of shock currents, excessive temperatures, and explosive atmospheres.
MEN Earthing System
- Allows fault clearing even with open circuit neutral conductors through multiple return paths.
- Emphasizes rapid fault clearing to reduce touch voltage risk.
Earth Fault Loop
- The loop must have low impedance to ensure fast fault clearance and prevent touch voltages.
- Wiring rules dictate impedance requirements for earth fault loops.
Equipment Classification
- Class 1: Earthed equipment.
- Class 2: Double insulated equipment.
- Class 3: Extra Low Voltage equipment.
Overload and Short Circuit
- Overload refers to an overcurrent in an otherwise sound circuit, such as too many appliances on one socket outlet.
