Purpose
A coil winder's job is to produce, install, repair and maintain electrical machines. Electrical machines are a collective term for transformers, generators and motors. A coil winder works with DC and AC currents but this usually involves working mostly with AC currents. The subject shall help pupils develop competence working with electrical machines and understanding how these function.
Coil Winder training will help the apprentice learn to work safely and accurately and to acquire the skills necessary to produce or install machines based on measurements and calculations. Apprentices shall learn to wind motor core laminations used on electrical machines. Learning in the subject shall raise the apprentice's awareness about the environmental challenges that exist at home and abroad related to better use of resources and a sustainable development.
Coil Winder training will emphasise planning, execution, documentation and expert assessment of one's own work. The application and understanding of rules for electrical safety and the ability to work according to established routines, procedures and rules will be acquired at all stages of learning. Furthermore, learning shall help the apprentice learn internal control routines and understand Environment, Health and Safety. Learning in the subject shall also provide insight into how one's in service training company is organized and why the trade is valuable for society. Learning in the subject will promote service-mindedness, independence and the ability to cooperate with others.
Training completed and passed in the subject will lead to a Trade Certificate.
The professional title of this profession is Coil Winder.
Structure
Coil Winder training consists of two main subject areas. The main subject areas complement each other, and should be viewed in relation to one another.
Overview of the main subject areas:
Year level | Main subject areas | |
Vg3 / in-service training at a training establishment | Production, Installation, Product Safety and Control | Repairs, Maintenance and Electrical Safety |
Main subject areas
Production, Installation, Product Safety and Control
The main subject area covers planning the production processes, fabricating windings and assembling these in electrical machines. Integrated into the subject is the use of current rules, standards, documentation, electro-technical calculations, concepts and measuring technology. The main subject area covers the use of hand tools and electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic machines and tools for fabricating and producing windings.
Repairs, Maintenance and Electrical Safety
The main subject area covers repairs, maintenance and electrical safety related to fabricating windings. The main subject area also includes assembling windings on motor cores in electrical machines. Furthermore, the main subject area covers repairing, maintaining, dismantling, assembling and testing products.
Integrated into the main subject area is electrical safety, electro-technical concepts, measuring technology and the use of hand tools and electrical tools, as well as the use of digital tools and business studies.
Basic skills
Basic skills are integrated into the competence aims for this course in areas where they contribute to the development of and are a part of the basic subject competence. In Coil Winder training, basic skills are understood as follows:
Being able to express oneself orally and in writing in Coil Winder involves communicating with customers, colleagues and professionals from other trades using precise language.
Being able to read in Coil Winder involves understanding different expository texts that allows one to work according to rules, recommendations and the needs of customers. This includes rules, norms, standards, work descriptions, drawings, manuals, equipment, installation instructions, data sheets and procedures for internal control and Environment, Health and Safety.
Numeracy in Coil Winder involves performing calculations for planning, execution and evaluations of system measurements and plans, evaluating the results of measurement and understanding the relationship between electrical circuits and systems.
Digital literacy in Coil Winder involves searching for information, making calculations and producing technical and economic documents for systems and units. This also involves reporting finished work.
