Testing of connections to low voltage electricity networks

Course Currency Status: (Release 1) Current

Course Overview: This course is designed to equip workers with the skills and knowledge to perform 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

Target Audience: Electrical Contractors and supply industry workers who are required to test connections on low voltage (LV) electricity networks

Participants must have a current electrical license or equivalent qualification and provide a USI number on enrolment and provide photographic identification on enrolment. Participants must have a current electrical license or equivalent, provide and wear their own PPE for this course. This course contains safety critical information requiring participants have the ability to read, write and understand English and basic calculations

Pre-requisites: There are no prerequisite competencies to this unit.

Note: Those holding an existing Certificate III ESI or Certificate III Electrotechnology qualification or equivalent meet the prerequisite unit requirements.
