Do you have any biscuits?

Now come on Davey,if the elecsa guy has to ask that question he's a certainty to fail,

He should stick with Do you like tea or coffee with your biscuits

Keep it on topic please chaps.

"What are the requirements with regard to Part L on a rewire?"

"What are the maximum operating time be on a 30ma rcd tested at x5?"

The latter you should be able to answer on the spot.

 

[DaveyD]

Ok, OK. Wel Napit were interested in...
Correct isolation
Switching in line
How many tests for an rcd? (Dont forget funtional)
Max ZS for 32a B 60898
IP codes and zones
... and other stuff about fountains that I had to look up!

 

[Richard Burns]

What if the maximum EFLI specified by DNO's for the different earthing systems?

What parts of the building regulations do you need to consider when installing a new lighting circuit?

How long do you have to keep copies of installation certificates?

How many tests for an rcd? (Dont forget funtional)

RCD TESTS: two half cycle tests at 0.5 the RCD's operating current
two half cycle tests at RCD's operation current
two half cycle tests at 5times RCD's operating current

Max ZS for 32a B 60898
1.44 ohms

and rcd functional test! so RCD is tested 7times

 

[DaveyD]
