Electrical Wiring Skills

Wiring is fundamental to many electrical installations. A Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician covers the selection of wiring systems and cables, as well as installation of low-voltage wiring and associated equipment. Students can learn how different wiring requirements relate to particular electrical installations. They also develop knowledge of cable termination and electrical accessories. Understanding correct wiring practices is important because installation quality can affect the safety, reliability and performance of an electrical system. The qualification gives students exposure to several wiring-related areas that form part of broader electrical installation work.
