Infinispark has released its Alternate Supplies Board (ASB) designed for training and assessing UEEEL0047, the only equipment currently on the market designed specifically for this unit of competency.

UEEEL0047 is a new unit of competency in the UEE30820, Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician qualification and it involves identifying, shutting down and restarting systems with alternate supplies.

ASB simulates a stand-alone system that can cover most practical training and assessment, satisfying a range of conditions, including one with an energy source that is still available once turned off, one inverter energy system, photovoltaic (PV) array systems, stand-alone power systems and battery systems.

Infinispark chose to design a stand-alone system because it covered most of the unit requirements. It also makes it safer for the students by making all accessible points Extra Low Voltage (ELV) where possible.

Infinispark also provides a quizzed-based Challenge Circuit number 13 on Alternate Supplies as a way of developing a fundamental understanding of the circuit arrangement on its website.
