AURETR012 Test and repair basic electrical circuits reflects performance in a real workplace setting. Assessment MUST include direct observation of tasks. Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals MUST provide evidence that links them to the basic electrical circuits they have tested and repaired, e.g. repair orders. Assessors MUST verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application. The following resources MUST be made available: Automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace Workplace instructions Manufacturer electrical system specifications Vehicle or machinery with faults in the basic electrical circuits specified in the performance evidence Electrical test equipment to test basic electrical circuits and components Consumable materials relevant to repairing basic electrical circuits and components, including connectors, terminals, wire, electrical tape and heat shrink sleeving Electrical repair tools, equipment and materials relating to basic electrical circuits and components.

In the AWG standard, what is the relationship between wire diameter and AWG size? The AWG of a stranded wire is determined by the cross-sectional area of the equivalent solid conductor. Because there are also small gaps between the strands, a stranded wire will always have a slightly larger small gaps between the strands, a stranded wire will always have a slightly larger overall diameter than a solid wire than the same AWG 25. There are three (3) major factors that determine the proper size of wire to be used. What are they? 1 Working Voltage Document Name: Student Written Knowledge Assessment – AURETR012 Created Date: 12 th Aug 2019 Document No: Trinity Institute (Australia) – AURETR012 Version No: 2.0 Last Modified Date: Trinity Institute (Australia) | RTO Code:41310 | CRICOS Code: 03556F Page Sequence: Page 10 of 25

Isolation procedures in each workplace may vary in detail because of differences in workplace, power sources, hazards and processes. However, an isolation procedure should include the following basic steps in every case. 1 The hazardous areas covered by the guard cannot operate until the guard is closed. 2 If the guard is opened while hazardous plant functions are operating, 3 The interlocking system incorporates 'run-down' guards that close and lock and remain Document Name: Student Written Knowledge Assessment – AURETR012 Created Date: 12 th Aug 2019 Document No: Trinity Institute (Australia) – AURETR012 Version No: 2.0 Last Modified Date: Trinity Institute (Australia) | RTO Code:41310 | CRICOS Code: 03556F Page Sequence: Page 19 of 25

Define each of the following term: Open: An open circuit will not operate as the circuit is not complete. Current cannot run from the battery, to And through the component and back again Short: A short circuit (sometimes abbreviated to short or s/c) is an electrical circuit that allows a current to Travel measured, a common return path for electric current, or a direct physical connection to the earth. Grounds: In electrical engineering, ground or earth is the reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured Excessive resistance: If a circuit has excessive resistance, it prevents the wire or component from carrying sufficient current under high load conditions. Resistance can be caused by corrosion, loose wiring pins, pitted relay contacts, and other types of physical damage 55. If the wiring insulation was damaged, frayed or burnt, what kind of fault could this cause? Worn, frayed, or damaged insulation around any wire or other conductor is an electrical hazard because the conductors could be exposed. Contact with an exposed wire could cause a shock. Damaged insulation could cause a short, leading to arcing or a fire. 56. What faults should you visually inspect for on wiring and connectors? Document Name: Student Written Knowledge Assessment – AURETR012 Created Date: 12 th Aug 2019 Document No: Trinity Institute (Australia) – AURETR012 Version No: 2.0 Last Modified Date: Trinity Institute (Australia) | RTO Code:41310 | CRICOS Code: 03556F Page Sequence: Page 20 of 25
AURETR012 Test and repair basic electrical circuits Wires : Cable faults are damage to cables which effect a resistance in the cable. If allowed to persist, this can lead to a voltage breakdown. There are different types of cable faults, which must first be classified before they can be located Connectors: While a connector element determines the normal path of flow execution, a fault connector is executed at runtime only when its source element results in an error. A fault connector can have any target element but only the following source elements: Apex Plug-In. 57. Often testing electrical circuits requires the technician to use backprobing tools to probe a connector to allow a test lead to contact a terminal inside the connector. Why? Because connector housings are so tight it is impossible to probe any other way. In addition some connectors are watertight. So sometimes even that isn’t possible. It all depends on the circumstances. Sometimes adapters are necessary with probe points such as on military type connectors that are water tight. This type connector even has seals around the body of the connector that cannot be broken without damaging the integrity of the connector. Thus an adapter is necessary for troubleshooting with a test contact for each wire involved. When this happens it becomes the responsibility of engineering to have such adapters made with a 58. How do you measure for resistance in an electrical circuit or component? The most common and simplest way to measure resistance is with a digital multimeter, or DMM.
