Evening...
I always use my OSG to find R1+R2 when needed for designing a circuit (staying withing the Zs limits), but I wondered if the same table is somewhere in BS7671? Its table I1 in the OSG. I've hunted high and low so I expect it's just something that the OSG offers and isn't in BS7671...
Hi guys. Just wondering if any one uses the IET guidance notes 1-8. I mostly refer to my regs books or on site guide and I'm wondering if they are worth buying?
Has anyone else noticed how little internet coverage there is for the compliance deadline of 1st July 2015 whereby all new overhead cabling in escape routes has to be fixed with metal clips? Whihc is strange because we deal a lot with councils and they have been stocking up for major changes for...
looking at zs readings for type b bs60898 circuit breakers in bs7671 "page58" and looking at page 121 in the guidance notes 3 and seeing different readings??
Clarifiation please !
I have read somewhere, maybe in BS7671 or on a forum site regulation that states that 16mm meter tails can or should be used on supplies rated at 80amps or under and 25mm tails on supplies rated at 100amps.
I have scoured BS7671 and various forums but cannot find this...
Q, The earth fault loop impendence measured for a circuit is
L1.1 0.61
determine showing all calculations weather it complies with Bs7671
what do I need to do
This would sort out most of the dross in this trade.
A legally binding code and compulsory registration.
Yes I know there’s a lot wrong in the NEC, there’s far more wrong in BS7671.
URGENT INFORMATION
The IET informed us that there is an error in one of the tables contained within the two recently released 3rd amendment publications below. We understand that this occurs in a table which many electricians will never use and is not going to affect anyone studying for the...
Is it a statutory requirement by law that Caravan (touring) Parks and Marinas be inspected / tested each and every year? If so, who implements that this must be done? The reason I'm asking this, as you know BS7671 is not statutory. I know it carries a lot of weight if any thing should go wrong...
Consumer units compliant with amendment 3 have to pass some kind of glow test to BSEN61439-3
I like many have seen and read information suggesting that all domestic consumer units will shortly need to be installed constructed of steel rather than plastic as a result of this new wonder ruling...
Please keep this on track and comments sensible.
I think that the IET et al are really taking the pxss with all the updates of BS7671 - the BYB due out in January, has hardly got life threatening changes so why update it now.
So please place your vote....
I know its a pain, but many electricians will be buying the new regs book. I've been browsing one particular site and wondered what best to buy with the new yellow BS7671 regs. You guys refer to the IT "OSG" book a great deal, but I've noticed another book being sold with BS7671 called "site...
Been reading up for my 2394/5 exams next week. Learnt some interesting stuff over the last few days. Thought I'd pose a simple quiz, as this was something that I misunderstood, and I'd be interested to find out if others do too (or if it was just me!) :) Just for fun, trainees and mentors can...
