Hi, could anyone tell me how to prove in a book that the highest x5 of an RCD test is sufficient please? It’s a question on my am2 testing. Thanks
I’m also struggling on how to check that my measure PFC at DB will trip the breakers in time. This question was a tick box on the exam so if anyone...
Good morning everyone,
I'm new to the forum so firstly hello :) I am currently training to become an electrician however I'm undecided as to what kind I should be. I currently have my level 2 City and guilds + ecs card and am working towards my level 3. I have a few weeks experience in...
Hi
I have just changed both an off-peak CU and a normal CU. I have tested both. Can i put them both on the same cert or do they need to be on two different EIC's ??

Hey all, going over some testing before my final assesment. i've heard a couple of times when testing a 3 phase supply using a single phase to earth test you double the reading as your Ze/Zs, so if you test L1-E=0.07 Zs=0.14. also what i have done until now is test all three Lines to earth and...
I did an EICR for a client over a year ago and as part i took the Ze reading at the incoming supply. All normal for a TNC-S it was about 0.14 ohms. I installed a socket in his workshop recently and as his tenant was in i could not remove the main earth so i took a Zs at the same position. The Zs...
Hi, Guys,when measuring PFC-PSCC on 3 phase supplies,I know that you test between live conductors L1-L2, L1-L3, L2-L3 and then all 3 to Neutral and note lowest reading obtained. Then all 3 phases ( is that right term for C&G? ) to earth. Then neutral to earth and lowest reading obtained recorded...
Hi,
I've always thought that if a property (e.g. farm) had two MPANs then you can get two supplies in at the highest FiT tariff for the size of the system on each MPAN, i.e. they don't get aggregated but looking through the FiT legislation it also mentions the concept of a site being more than...
Hi all
In order to measure your pefc pscc, you need to test across all 3 line conductors then multiply by 2 record the highest value, this is correct isnt it.
Im currently studying electrical and im up to dead tests.
ive reached continuity of ring final circuit on my scenario cd , in therory i understand the procedure and what to do but im a little un sure on finding the mid point on the sockets .
please can sombody go threw it step by step in...
Hi guys just finished a 17hour shift so got a bit of a sore head and cant think straight just now lol, was on a ****ty install today and got a few questions to refresh my memory, thanks.... no slagging me
1. ring circuit= 6 sockets protected by a 32 mcb, on 1 of the sockets there is a 0.75mm...
Hi, I can't seem to get my head around how to test a 3 Phase Motor circuit to obtain the value of Zs.
1. After isolation of circuit and locking off u short out the 3 Phases on the motor terminal block with shorting straps.
2. At the Dist Board with a Low Ohm meter you test the resistance...
