This unit standard is for people who work, or intend to work, in
the refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector of the
engineering industry. It applies to refrigeration and air
conditioning systems that contain electrical components and
systems, and electronic subsystems. It is designed to provide
technician refrigeration and air conditioning systems engineers
with an understanding of electrical principles, properties, and
components, and electronic principles, components, and
control systems so that they can communicate requirements to,
and interact with, electrical and electro-technical personnel.
People credited with this unit standard are able to: demonstrate
and apply knowledge of the function and performance of
electrical components in refrigeration and air conditioning
systems; select electrical components to meet operational
requirements; identify causes of electrical and/or electronic
problems and/or failures; and explain the function and
performance of electronic components and subsystems in
refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

The credit value of this unit standard has been calculated on the basis that people
seeking credit have previously acquired competence in the transposition of formulae,
the manipulation of equations, and the use of trigonometric functions; and have
previously acquired understanding of fundamental concepts of physics (mass, length,
time, charge, and current) and their derived units, including voltage, resistance,
pressure, force, gravitational effect, velocity, acceleration, energy, and power.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA,
before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses
of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies
to this standard are outlined in the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR). The
CMR also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing
to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors
and assessors, and special resource requirements.
