SA Master Installation Electrician study plan

Map each clause group of AS/NZS 3000 to the ten exam domains so you can locate the governing rule for any scenario

Explain the roles of the regulator, licensing body and standards framework in South Australia and how each affects a licensed installer

Derive the fault loop impedance limit for a given protective device and supply arrangement using the standard formula

Identify the protective earthing and bonding requirements for a main switchboard and a sub-board in a typical installation

Calculate maximum demand for a domestic installation using the standard's demand methods and justify each diversity allowance applied

Select cable size for a given circuit by checking current-carrying capacity, derating factors, voltage drop and protective device coordination in that order

Apply correction factors for ambient temperature, grouping and thermal insulation to a tabulated current-carrying capacity

Compute voltage drop for single-phase and three-phase circuits and compare against the standard's limits

Size protective earthing conductors and main earthing conductors from the active conductor cross-section and justify any reduction

Determine the required disconnection time for a circuit from its earthing system type and describe how to verify it by test

Select and set protective devices to achieve discrimination between a main and a sub-circuit breaker for overload and short circuit

Explain the operating principles of RCDs, MCBs and MCCBs and state the selection criteria for each application

Choose an installation method and wiring system for a given environment and defend the choice against the standard's requirements

Apply the additional requirements for wet areas, construction sites, medical locations and hazardous areas to a set of scenarios

Classify a hazardous area by zone and match the equipment selection to that classification

Identify the specific control measures required for construction-site and temporary installations

Sequence the verification tests for a new installation in the correct order and state the purpose and pass criterion for each

Perform and interpret insulation resistance, polarity, continuity of earthing and fault loop impedance results on worked sample data

Diagnose five fault scenarios from symptoms and test results and nominate the next test to confirm each diagnosis

Describe the certification and record-keeping obligations that follow verification and commissioning

Explain the hierarchy of risk control and apply it to live-work, isolation and testing activities on site

Identify the WHS duties of a licensed installer, a supervisor and a principal contractor for a given site situation

Plan a safe isolation procedure including proving dead and applying locks and tags

Review a maintenance and repair task and specify the isolation, testing and re-commissioning steps required

Explain the contractual and consumer-protection obligations that attach to quoting, contracting and completing electrical work

Draft the key clauses of a quotation and a variation notice that protect both the installer and the consumer

Describe the supervisory responsibilities of a licensed installer over apprentices and unlicensed workers

Resolve two consumer complaint scenarios using the regulatory and contractual framework

Complete a full-length timed practice exam under exam conditions and record your score by domain

Re-study the two weakest domains using your week 1 to 7 deliverables as the reference

Re-attempt every question you answered incorrectly and write a one-line reason for each corrected answer

Build a final one-page formula and limits sheet covering demand, voltage drop, fault loop impedance and disconnection times
