    Need to cover wiring systems for NVQ :(

    Just like a Electrical Trainee then? Luckily I didn't do it through a centre then, I did my NVQ and AM2 as part of my apprenticeship. I was mearly pointing out that the NVQ portfolio was open to fraudulent activity and a longer and more in depth AM2 is needed IMO.

    Need to cover wiring systems for NVQ :(

    When I did my nvq, you did not have to do all the cable types. Although all you had to was write a report on 3 jobs and you could make up anything and say you've done it. Thinking about it, the NVQ means sweet F all because apart from the AM2 there was nothing stopping you from completely...

    Metal consumer units

    Possibly due to the fact that if you are going to the hassle of buying a steel enclosure and insulated DB then I would suggest it would be easier and cheaper to just fit a AMD3 DB?

    When was this in manufacture?

    Looking back, it maybe a tinned copper braid - possibly covered in rubber however there was copious amounts I removed and found no evedence of a previous outer sheath of rubber. Still, better than the carp we install nowadays.....

    When was this in manufacture?

    Came across some old imperial cable today. Seems to be tinned copper with VIR then a fabric wrap and and steel over braid. Never seen it braided before but what shocked me was the fact that the cable integrity was perfect. VIR was like new. What was the large 7core used for...

    Outdoor cable tensioners

    3mm Catenery wire. T&E outside is considered poor practise due to UV tolerance however it would last 20 years with no problems.

    Earthing cable running through kitchen cupboards

    Not really an issue is it? Could do with a couple of clips in the smaller unit but otherwise fit for purpose. What sort of impacts that are going to threaten the integrity of the conductor are you expecting this cable to be subject to when it is clipped tight to the back of the unit??

    Locking off the main switch before removing cover from a consumer unit?

    Why would you need to "lock off" if you are working local to the point of isolation? I.e. At the CU
