UEEIC0020 - Fault find and repair analogue circuits and components in electronic control systemsUEEIC0020Fault find and repair analogue circuits and components in electronic control systems

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to fault find and repair analogue circuits and components in electronic control systems.

It includes fault finding and repairing analogue circuits as well as completing and reporting on fault and repair activities. It also includes analogue circuits and components to logical fault-finding processes, implementing fault rectification, safety and functional testing.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V direct current (d.c.).

Competency development activities in this unit are subject to regulations directly related to licensing. Where a licence or permit to practice is not held, a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian apprenticeship, is required.

Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to electrical work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations.

Where prerequisite pathways have been identified, all competencies in the Common Unit Group must be have been completed plus all the competencies in one (1) of the identified Pathway Unit Group(s)

Instrumentation & Control

Electrotechnology

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Fault finding and repairing must include at least four of the following faults in analogue circuits and components:

open circuit

short circuit

incorrect or failed connections

insulation failure

unsafe condition

apparatus/component failure

related mechanical failure

This unit replaces and is equivalent to UEENEEI124A Fault find and repair analogue circuits and components in electronic control systems.
