UETDRMP011 – Testing of connections to low voltage electricity networks
Description
This Course covers the performance of testing of connections to low voltage (LV) electricity networks according to AS 4741-2010 Testing of connections to electricity networks. It specifies the mandatory requirements for testing when connecting and/or reconnecting a customer/s installation to an electricity supply network.
It encompasses the minimum principles and tests required to confirm that the LV supply connections are correct. The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit requires 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.

Course aim
This unit covers the performance of testing of connections to low voltage (LV) electricity networks according to AS 4741-2010 Testing of connections to electricity networks. It specifies the mandatory requirements for testing when connecting and/or reconnecting a customer
Target learner group
The target learners for this course are employees currently working within the Australian Electricity Supply Industry. This includes employees of network asset owners, contractors and sub-contractors in electricity Distribution.
Those who work on the network must maintain currency of skills and competency in a range of safety and technical competencies. Relevant safety related training programs are often mandated by regulation or industry agreements and documented in state codes of practice.
Most learners will be licensed and trade qualified or hold a Certificate in a related technical discipline. In addition to trade qualifications, the learner groups will have completed a range of electrical and plant safety related training programs related to the roles they hold. Due to the significant safety risks in the industry these employees work within highly proceduralised workplaces with mature workplace safety systems.
Workers in the industry are required to regularly complete workplace safety risk assessment and work planning documentation, and therefore bring a solid foundational understanding of risk assessment and workplace safety documentation concepts and practices to the program.
