The term current regulations and standards is used in this unit standard to refer to the requirements of the above references.

Electrical equipment any equipment, plant, or machinery powered by electricity, and which periodically requires attention in the form of inspection, adjustment, measurement, tuning, overhaul, component replacement, lubrication, or cleaning, so that it may continue to operate safely and efficiently, and in compliance with any legislative requirements.

4The maintenance schedule may be a manual paper-based system, or in the form of a computer database. The unit standard is not intended to be used for assessing computer programming of such a system.Outcomes and evidence requirementsOutcome 1

Develop a preventative maintenance schedule for electrical equipment.

Evidence requirements1.1Location and equipment drawings, manuals, maintenance records, and specifications are filed in an orderly and systematic fashion.

1.2An inventory of electrical equipment in the installation is obtained and/or prepared according to requirements.

Rangetypically the inventory will contain item, type, plant number, serial number, model, rating, location, installation date.

1.3Preventative maintenance schedule is developed for each item of equipment according to requirements.

Rangedevelopment is typically based on information from equipment inventory, manuals, manufacturers specifications, current regulations and standards, plant operating/shut-down schedules, shut-down procedures, past maintenance records, knowledge of safe working practices;

a typical schedule will list equipment identification, frequency of maintenance, due date, type of maintenance, reference to instructions and/or checklists, location of spares, special requirements.

1.4The schedule incorporates or interfaces with a system of initiating, allocating to available resources, tracking progress, and recording results and costs of maintenance work in accordance with company requirements.

1.5An inventory of spare parts is developed from manufacturers' recommendations.

Rangetypically this would include type of spare, quantity held locally, location, re-order level, supplier, cost.

1.6The schedule allows for reviews arising from upgrade information from manufacturers.

Outcome 2Manage a preventative maintenance programme for electrical equipment.

Evidence requirements2.1Trades and other personnel are organised to meet scheduled maintenance requirements.

2.2Shut-down times and periods are arranged to meet the maintenance schedule and other company requirements.

2.3Maintenance work is completed in accordance with the maintenance schedule.

2.4Maintenance documentation is completed according to the requirements of the maintenance schedule and related company systems.

Rangedocumentation may include but is not limited to progress tracking on maintenance charts or programme, follow-up work instructions or recommendations, recording results of tests and measurements, site safety clearances, certifications, reports to management, recording of time and costs.
