    Stroma Certification Scheme 1st Stroma assessment

    Thank for askin' Tim, It's the 3rd of October. Brick workshop, CCU, two circuits - T&E in plastic Kopex and TT earth. IP rated light RCBO at the house end. Clever log-in name you have Taylor :)

    Stroma Certification Scheme 1st Stroma assessment

    It's about being inquisitive I suspect. Recently I repaired a cement mixer for a landscaper. That led to "can you 'ave a look at the concrete breaker" and so on; as much for my own interest as the payment. Long may such learning opportunities continue. By the same score, sparks who take on a...

    Lev 3 2365 electrical installation

    Ben, don't loose track of your greater plan. To understand, qualify and work as an electrician in your chosen area. All while making making dismissive remarks about project managers, blokes in suits but no socks and anyone offering you coffee made with dried, instant s**t. Hope that helps ;)

    Stroma Certification Scheme 1st Stroma assessment

    Appreciate the clarity. I have both versions, reg's and OSG. 17th is well tagged. The big blue book still need some attention. Test circuits are lighting and sockets on a mini-CCU and TT earth. All the T&E is in plastic Kopex and glanded. SWA earthed at the far (out building) end, not the...

    Lev 3 2365 electrical installation

    Folk with less faith in human nature might suggest the reason the college said you should repeat level 2 is...double fees. I'd never be so cynical ;)

    Stroma Certification Scheme 1st Stroma assessment

    A "me too" moment. Mine's in October As well as the obvious skills, they seem to like back up paperwork in order. MFT calibration. Complaints procedure documented - that sort of thing. Good luck.

    Milenco Van Security Dead Bolts. Cheaper than ArmaDlock

    Cover is pretty much outside the site; that's it. Sure I could get Martini Cover (any time, any place) but I'm all out of kings to ransom for the poor insurance companies.

    Lev 3 2365 electrical installation

    Maybe can help... I've recently finished the C&G 2365 L2 & L3. There's nothing in the L3 that should scare you if you did the L2 reasonably comfortably. The design project is monster so start it EARLY and be methodical. The Maths is fine if you're comfortable with algebra. A lot of use of the...

    Milenco Van Security Dead Bolts. Cheaper than ArmaDlock

    OK, Prompted by the comments above, I just spoke to my PLI & Tool Cover Insurance. Not trying to teach the experienced hands but this might be worth checking. (1) My Megger wasn't covered due to the £500 limit on individual tools and I've changed that. Over all limit is £2k but I'll have to live...

    Does anyone else get a little nervous at assessment time?

    You'd have a queue of unskilled DIY'ers, multi traders, best mates and dodgy landlords around the magistrates court. Still no idea how my Stroma inspection will go. My installation is OK according to experienced eyes but my testing is slow and interpreting the reg's take me some time.

    Milenco Van Security Dead Bolts. Cheaper than ArmaDlock

    Nothing is impenetrable but I've fitted the Milencos on the top edge with a couple of "rubber strap" style bonnet catches on the inside top.

    Milenco Van Security Dead Bolts. Cheaper than ArmaDlock

    Thanks Guys, I also remove all the power tools at night and sleep with the Megger under my pillow ;) but the van is often out of site during the day. I'll check the tool insurance issue mentioned as I've just added it to my PLI. Not sure about the "low key is the best key " approach; it's a...

    Milenco Van Security Dead Bolts. Cheaper than ArmaDlock

    What are you guys using a additional physical security on on your vans? Assuming no-one is foolish enough to be relying on the OEM door lock and immobilisers. Being freshly minted, that is fleeced by various insurance and CPS bodies, I chose the DIY option and bought three Milenco Door Bolts off...

Outside workshop on a TT earth prepp'ed, with all cables in kopex; Hopefully to the reg's. 17th and 18th BS7671 to hand plus all the risk assessment, complaints procedure etc. What is the procedure if you fail? How soon can you re-book and...

    Caddy Maxi v Transit Connect L2

    Nah, I like the "body odour and kebab"smell in my lil' Nissan. All the Bentley leather would make me feel like a burglar in a stately home ;)

    Caddy Maxi v Transit Connect L2

    A late and left-field update. Bought myself a used Nissan NV200. Used 'em years ago for a company I work for found a FSH, air-con and reversing camera model for peanuts. Little wheels and little 1.5 turbo diesel make them a bit frantic on the motorway but otherwise pretty good and fitting...

    Best Tools For a Startup Electrician

    Screwfix Titan brand LED distance measure is a god-send for plotting down lights. A chalk line is cheaper than laser and almost as good for the task. Rolling tool boxes are handy depending if you're in a car or on the tube; with a small soft bag of the basic (second fix) tools. What else...

    Capaciter Start Motor converted to flick-of-the-finger-start query

    TBH it's not professional kit with a plate; just tile cutter I was investigating out of curiosity. Seeing the little dial on the back of the stop/start I wondered if the start cap' was on a timer?
