Hi all had a weird one today, actually make it two, tested ringfinal continuity at the board lives were 0.00 and so were neutrals, earths were the same too, not sure why, is it a ring that has been interconnected causing a duff reading??

hi guys just heard from c&g
Thank you for contacting City & Guilds Customer Relations.
With regards to the 2391-301 Technical Knowledge of the Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations. I can advise that due to centre demand and the need for potential re-sits, there will...
Customer wants new CU and a shed supply. (Let's not get into shed supplies - been doing some homework on this one).
Medium/smallish 4 bed house, has > 100M^2 area, but currently has single ring final, no split.

Please could someone enlighten me on how grouping factors apply to ring final circuits run together, e.g. sharing holes through joists and walls, in a domestic situation?
For one RFC run in 2.5mm T&E under first floor boards (ref method B) the cable rating is 23A.
If you group two RFCs...
Hi,
for those looking to sit the 2391 before it finally bites the dust - the final, final, final written exam date of December 2012, appears to have been changed to March 2013. Search the C&G web site under 2391 for info.
Regards.
Apologies if this question sounds a bit basic but am a little confused at the mo and quite new to the game. Here goes -

I'll probably receive cries of abuse that this query was dealt with years ago but not when I was in the forum so........When testing ring can anybody think of a reason why the ring final tests (R1,R2 and Rn + link test) shouldn't be done from the back of a socket or other outlet on the ring. As...

I have a query around installing a socket outlet spur off a final ring circuit in a domestic installation which isn’t protected by any RCD’s at the DB. My understanding is that to comply with the current regulation the cable installed in the wall would need to be in the prescribe zones (which it...
Hi,
I am studying for me 91 and am currently practicing on my home. I have found that my garage circuit consisting of a small 2 way CU with 1 of each; ring and lighting circuit (no RCD). I expected to see this circuit connected to the main CU through its own CB but in fact it is connected to...
I was speaking to an Electrical Engineering suit not too long ago,
He reckons that there's talk of Ring Final Circuits being done away with and the preference to install Radials only.
Anyone else heard this little gem.
Whats the general preference of everyone for the two systems????
Anyone...

I am carrying out the continuity for a ring final test for a single phase TN-S system. When doing the end to end Neutral I don't get a reading!! What is wrong here and what Code does apply (Code 1-3)?
Many Thanks.

Can we carry out the continuity test for the ring final by connecting the line, neutral, and cpc end to end at any socket or do we have to identify and disconnect the conductors at the C/U? I am aksing as i think it is much easier to link the line, neutral, and cpc end to end at any socket...

Hi People, Interesting one today, friend wanted me to do check on 2 Circuits of his extension.
And he said LBC told him they would be happy to have PIR/EICR Considering it was 16th when he extended.
He done work 5 years ago ! which i thought was a odd thing for LBC to say, but they still...
Just a quick clarification, I am thinking of replacing a T&E switch wire with a 3+E switch wire as an easy way to convert a single light switch to a double light switch without ripping out the wall.
This would mean that there would be two cores as switched lines, one for each light.
I am fairly...
