L1 ASSESS AND MONITOR<br />
TEMPORARY POWER SUPPLY<br />
SYSTEMS<br />
UNIT OVERVIEW<br />
This unit involves identifying the local power supply,<br />
analysing the electrical distribution layout to ensure load<br />
capability, inspecting cables be<strong>for</strong>e use, <strong>and</strong> providing a<br />
safe cable distribution system.<br />
It is about labelling cables <strong>and</strong> identifying power<br />
switches, checking switchgear, <strong>and</strong> being competent<br />
to safely test the distribution system <strong>and</strong> monitor the<br />
distribution system during use. It involves providing safe<br />
<strong>and</strong> efficient change over complying with the<br />
requirements of the appropriate British <strong>St<strong>and</strong>ards</strong>,<br />
Wiring Regulations <strong>and</strong> the Electricity at Work<br />
Regulations.<br />
It also involves connecting <strong>and</strong> operating basic dimmer<br />
systems.<br />
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING<br />
this is what you must know<br />
a) how to identify the incoming electrical supply <strong>and</strong><br />
the switch gear loading characteristics, <strong>and</strong> how to<br />
assess their implications <strong>for</strong> the shoot<br />
b) what safety issues are associated with the location<br />
conditions<br />
c) why it is important <strong>for</strong> the person responsible <strong>for</strong><br />
the operation of the location to be present to<br />
identify local distribution systems<br />
d) the relevant sections as laid down in the<br />
appropriate British <strong>St<strong>and</strong>ards</strong> such as BS7671,<br />
BS7909 <strong>and</strong> BS7430<br />
e) the effects of electrical distribution on other sound<br />
<strong>and</strong> vision equipment<br />
f) how to identify any potential problems associated<br />
with the incoming electrical mains supply<br />
g) your legal responsibilities to other members of the<br />
production crew <strong>and</strong> the general public when<br />
providing an electrical supply<br />
h) how to record <strong>and</strong> report all electrical test results<br />
i) how to fault find on switch gear <strong>and</strong> associated<br />
equipment<br />
j) the importance of balanced loading<br />
k) how to connect <strong>and</strong> operate basic dimmer systems<br />
including basic DMX controls<br />
l) recognise the <strong>for</strong>mat of the incoming electrical<br />
supply system <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong> the implications of<br />
different earthing systems<br />
