    Regulations/requirements regarding communal lighting

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I agree, it's never been my intention to go in guns blazing. I'm currently trying to gather as much info/opinions/experience regarding the lights before deciding how and if to approach it. I must be honest I'm reluctant to contact the electrician for reasons I...

    Regulations/requirements regarding communal lighting

    There are windows all up the staircases and windows at either end of the corridors on each floor. As for a switch, there is a key switch to test the emergency lights, so I guess that ticks that box. Don't think the management company have really taken the building on yet, I heard one of the site...

    Regulations/requirements regarding communal lighting

    Out of interest why do you suggest it might be a waste of time? I'm half expecting myself for it to be a waste of time. The developer's have had the building signed off, they've sold the flats, we're paying the communal electricity bill, £££££££ in their pocket. Who cares about their lights...

    Fault Finding help

    Thanks Pete999, makes sense that you should go through the complete procedure of ring continuity. With regards to the fault finding, would you do end to end and then the half split as I said above? Dan.

    Fault Finding help

    Hi, I'm being assessed for fault finding as part of my NVQ tomorrow and have just had a bit of a 'what the hell am I'm doing' moment! I'm building the fault in. It will be a loose neutral touching an earthed metal back box in a socket on a ring main, causing the RCD to trip. My plan of attack...

    Continuity and IR for DOL starter

    I wasn't thinking of testing through the starter just upto it, then after it and adding those values. When you say link out cables at the DOL you mean link incoming with outgoing to effectively bypass the DOL? No point asking my tutor not sure he knows what he is doing. The college is...

I've researched the net and these forums and there is some good info just need to get some things clear in my head so I'm certain about the testing for the motor circuit. Its single phase and the circuit goes as follows...
