This comprehensive training not only focuses on the technical aspects of service connections but also encompasses the administrative and regulatory requirements, ensuring that the contractors are well-versed in all facets of the SACS and capable of upholding Western Power’s standards.
Central to this training is the practical application of skills required for testing and connecting service connections under the Service Apparatus Connection Scheme (SACS).
The SACS plays a pivotal role in this course, allowing accredited contractors to undertake specific tasks such as connecting kWh meters and terminating consumer mains in energised Western Power pillars. However, the scheme sets clear boundaries, limiting these connections to single direct-wired metering installations that do not exceed 100 amperes. This includes both distributed and multi-master metering. Upon completion of such work, contractors are required to submit a notice of completion to Western Power.
Applicants must hold a current WA Unrestricted Electricians Licence, have a letter of approval from Western Power to enrol in this course and have a working knowledge of both written and spoken English.
Fully enclosed shoes must be worn at all times in CET buildings. Safety boots/shoes must be worn when working in the workshop.
