If a fault occurs in the HV system and a magnitude of fault voltage of 430v occurs between exposed conductive parts and earth on the LV installation, what is the maximum tolerable duration of the fault
Yes a few of those are nothing to do with basic protection, the lampholder is the obvious one, but other answers would be correct a. And d . are for automatic
Heres another strange one
7 o/c 4 - Which of the following items does not offer ‘basic’ protection:
a a circuit protective conductor.
b a socket outlet.
c a lampholder.
d equipotential bonding conductors
Right so what they are looking for is a design figure not an absolute, but in characteristic of design max current would be a consideration to arrive at max demand
When doing mock exams 17th edition the questions that always have me stumped are about general characteristics, I had a question with maximum demand and max current in choices, both seemed feasible answers
Rcds for lighting, switching device for Protective conductor in dual supplies, 730 whole new section for inland vessels on shore connections, electrical separation on Caravan sites and many more
They're not going to do 60 questions on the minor changes, the exam is to test your understanding of the wiring regs complete not just the new bits. Some candidates could be going from 16th to 18th.
99% of it is unchanged so of course you can study, they're not going to change the whole book, just thought someone may have the heads up on the additions, it will be in print somewhere, it's released in a couple of weeks.
Taking my 18th in a few weeks, studying 17th past papers and know the book very well as most of scope will be on that I assume, however anyone familiar with the new additions concerning under floor/wall heating elements bonding requirements and energy efficiency regs.
