Hey! First time posting here :hurray:
ive been a sparky for 10 years working in mostly domestic and now I've decided to try going into another form of the industry. However I've realised that I'm not as upto scratch as I should be with certain things and would like to refresh myself. I've spent...
I am contemplating doing the 2395 at my local college starting in August, just missed the 94 but hopefully they will be running it again in November.
I've seen a few books online, but was looking any recommendations from guys who have done the courses recently. Or any other advice.
Anyone got any books they want to sell or hand off to a better home? I'm particularly looking for the guidance notes, and (I have GN3 in yellow already) don't particularly want to part with £30 per book. Just thought a member might have a slightly older version they'd been willing to part with...
Hi all,
I’m having a little trouble understanding whichbooks/reference guides/onsite guides etc to refer to when I’m looking forinformation.
Is there a general rule of thumb for which sources ofmaterial will provide what information?
Obviously some are self-explanatory (wiring regs...
OK so had to buy new Spanish regs with latest amendments . The main book 753 pages all pages are coated with a wipe clean finish plus 3 small on site ref guides plus 2 quick calc cards total inc postage 22 euros about 18 quid .....looks like a bargain compared to what you guys seem to pay. BTW...
Hi All,

Any advice appreciated.

1) If im not wrong, a type B breaker must activate between 3 & 5 times its rated current within .1 second. There is time/current...
Anyone on here have any experience with the Trevor Lindsey books. It's been recommended but I'd like to know how they helped, in particular with testing as I'm at college training for this at the mo.

Hello folks, I would be looking for a book about domestic electricity/wiring, theory and all, I wondered if you knew any, I know quite a lot of them in french, but I would be looking for a good one that I could import from UK, that would be a nice read.
Thanks in advance, and I apology if this...
I find working as a labourer I never have to think about basic theory, so it's easy for me to forget.
Doing some experimenting tonight with 11meters of 2.5 T&E and a continuity tester.
End to end on the line 0.15ohm CPC 0.20 Ohm
It's not exactly what I expect. Is the difference something to...
Chris Kitcher has been in touch over the weekend and he is sending me his latest book before it is released. He can only send one copy out at the moment but he will try his best to send another one for a prize for the TS :wink_smile: (top bloke, really nice talking to him, fantastic attitude and...
Hi ya my am2 test is a week today and I'm looking at updating my books that I currently have bs7671, onsite guide and guidance note 3, but I can only afford either the onside guide or guidance note 3 this week.
So my question is which one of these would help me the most when it comes to the...
Afternoon chaps,
Just wondered what the best textbook is for starting out assuming one has no electrical knowledge?
I've bought the 2365 C&G textbook on electrical installations level 2 but it seems a little advanced still?
Is there a popular book which takes it back to basics? I don't...
Hi,
I have just purchased a 16th Edition and a 15th Edition BS7671 book both in excellent condition.
I am looking for a 14th and 13th edition if anyone has one they don't want.
No particular reason that I want them other than to look in and to have sitting on the shelf as it would be a nice...
Hello Fellow Sparks.
Can anyone tell me what they do with their old regs books. As I've got amendment 2&3. I have done my 17th with amendment 2 so it's got lots of regs highlighted and a few calculations written in the book.
I have also done I&T with it so it's got lots of extra info in.
Thanks

How much of the Guidance Note Books have Changes from Red-Yellow (2008-2015) and Green-Yellow (2011-2015)
With every Book needing to be YELLOW is there any CHEAP deals to be made
I'm starting the level 2 2365 in electrical installation in September and want to do some reading up before starting.
Can any of you link me to some books which you found helpful on your way in becoming qualified?
Hi,
Cu change pre tests (TT) indicate non text book results: r1=072, rn=0.92, r2=1.58 another ring: r1=0.67 n=0.67 r2=1.60
As can be seen the r2 values are more than 1.67 times r1 or rn possibly due to loose connections. Are we responsible to try and bring these values in line for a cu...
Just saved myself a fortune.
Did some searching around in the loft and what do you know !!
Found an old regs book and guess what ! it's a yellow one.
Phew just saved myself a few bob with the scam assessor due next week.
Now all I have to do is poke him in the eyes before he does his paperwork...
