Explanatory notes
1
This unit standard is intended for, but not restricted to, workplace assessment. The
range statements across the unit standard can be applied according to industry
specific equipment, procedures and processes.
2
Performance and work practices in relation to the outcomes and evidence
requirements must comply with all current legislation, especially the Electricity Act
1992, and any regulations and codes of practice recognised under that statute; the
Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992; and the Resource Management Act
1991. Electricity supply industry codes of practice and documented industry
procedures include the current version of the Safety Manual – Electricity Industry
(SM-EI) (Wellington: Electricity Engineers’ Association). A full list of current
legislation and industry codes is available from the Electricity Supply Industry
Training Organisation, PO Box 1245, Waikato Mail Centre, Hamilton 3240.

The phrase in accordance with industry requirements is implicit in all outcomes and
evidence requirements in this expiring
unit standard.
Industry requirements include all industry and workplace documented policies,
procedures, specifications, and business and quality management relevant to the
workplace where assessment is carried out.

Outcomes and evidence requirements
Outcome 1
Demonstrate knowledge of the principles of electricity generation.
Range
conservation of energy, magnetic field and current relationships.
Evidence requirements
1.1
The effect of current carrying conductor is explained in terms of magnetic field
present around conductor.
1.2
The effect of passing current through conductor in magnetic field is explained in
terms of force moving a conductor across field flux lines.
1.3
The effect on conductor forced through magnetic field is explained in terms of
current induced in conductor.
1.4
The concept of electromagnetic fields is explained in terms of magnetic field
effect of conductor coil.
1.5
Simple AC generation by field rotation is explained in terms of rotating field and
electromagnetic force induced in stator winding.
1.6
Commutation and DC generation are explained in terms of field,
electromagnetic force induced in rotating winding, commutator and brushes to
provide unidirectional output.
1.7
The effect on the generated electromotive force of varying the current in the
electromagnetic field coils in a generator is outlined in terms of flux increased,
induced voltage increased.
1.8
The effects of balance and imbalance between generator power output and load
power consumption are explained in terms of rotational speed constant,
increases or decreases.
1.9
The concept of an infinite busbar is explained in terms of constant system
frequency and voltage.
1.10
The effects of varying the magnetic field and generated power with generator
connected to infinite busbar are explained in terms of current leads or lags
system voltage, generator accepts greater or lesser load.
1.11
The concepts of single phase and three phase generation are explained in
terms of single set of waveforms, three sets of waveforms and 120º
displacement.

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.
