What Electrical And Electronic Equipment And Appliances Maintenance covers

Electrical And Electronic Equipment And Appliances Maintenance in Electronics Technology Level 4 is about finding a fault and fixing it. The unit starts by assembling maintenance tools, equipment and materials, from classifying tools and instruments to calibrating them, with semiconductor theory and diode types behind the components you meet. Next you inspect and test faulty components: disassembling equipment, sorting screws, running tests and applying troubleshooting methods safely. Maintenance activities then cover repairing or replacing faulty components, cleaning, soldering and tightening, and disposing of waste materials. After repair you test again at the right test points. Finally you reassemble: tightening screws, connectors, cable ties, glue and insulating tapes, and mounting cooling components.
