Before anyone asks I am a qualified spark.. been off the tools for years and getting back into it..
In regards to EICR’s it’s been a while..
Acceptable to add R1 R2 to Ze for ZS or do you all test all 3 anyway? I know it’s not acceptable to ZS and take off ZE to get R1 R2..
Hello all.
Does anyone have any views on using cameras to send under floorboards etc?
I was thinking about getting either a borscope or cable ferret.
The borescopes (£60 ish on Amazon) look pretty good as they look like you send them behind dot and dab as they are pretty small, but not sure if...
Hi,
I'm looking for advice re frequency of Fixed Wiring Inspections in Residential Apartments.
We have recently had a Fire Risk assessment in which the issue was raised. The block (14 Apts, all owned not rented), is about 5yrs old and the Domestic Installation Certificate for each apartment...
Hi everyone. I work in the industry already and do not need a job. I am just currently doing my NVQ and cannot complete the units of testing and inspection and fault diagnosis. I was wondering if anyone near Dagenham or London (travelling isn’t an issue)
Could let me tag along with them for a...
Sat contemplating life as normal and started thinking about this.
Anyone can do the 18th and the testing and inspection qualifications.
So is it not theoretically possible to do those and simply specialise in testing and inspection? I mean why go through installation courses etc if you can...
Need advice before I call for inspection on temporary power pole for new home. Power company requires ground wire to ground rod. I’m using a 2 space 70 amp panel to run two GFCI receptacles.
Should my ground wires in the panel go into the neutral bar? If they don’t reach, can I use a jumper...
Hello, everyone. First post here. And that's not a typo in the subject line. I am finishing part of my basement to put in a new master bedroom, bathroom, and closet. I was planning on putting the panel in the walk-in closet but enclosing it in a full enclosure of the appropriate size (floor to...
Hi looking to do the 2391 Inspection and testing course after recently passing the 18th after being off the tools for over 10yrs. Is it a good idea or will I struggle with it being off the tools for so long. Got over 80% for the 18th so I’m not overly daft? I’m currently looking at getting...
Hello there , please I need your advice that i am importing solar street lights from China and i need some candidates to do the quality inspection test.
Hi guys I’m not carrying out a periodic but have seen in a house a lighting circuit with no CPC which I know was acceptable at the time of install but the circuit contains class one equipment. The circuit is RCD protected but would this be classed as a C2 as the RCD can’t be relied on for fault...
I sat the 2391-52 Initial Verification & Periodic Inspection and Testing online Exam last week and failed by 1 mark. I got 100% in 2393-10 and 90% in 2382-18 so not unfamiliar with electrical exams. I was wondering:
1. Does this exam follow a sequential format as similar to that of the 2382-18...
Just wondering if anyone has had their yearly visit from the NICEIC recently?
Think our last one was in December 2019 and haven't heard from them since. Assuming they've postponed some due to Covid but could be wrong.
Thanks.
My mum is due to have her five yearly landlord electrical inspection. She's a little worried about letting an electrician into her home due to covid. She has asked the electrical company what it involves but the guy on the phone didn't seem to know and just fobbed her off.
Is there a minimum...

Ideally I would like to design rooms with furniture in mind and such that there aren't any outlets on exterior walls.
But as far as I know, every state requires outlets to be no more than 12 feet apart. I don't want to be restricted. Is there a way around this?
Here are some ideas. I often...
