Does anyone have any experience with the validity of "Baker" Testing of a wound electrical device as opposed to LEAP anaysis?
I have a conveyor magnet that is not going too well by the oil testing, and have been offered "Baker" testing by an NDT firm (can we use company names here?) but I have...
Hello,
Basically I've done the most of my practical exam today, I just have to finish of wiring and testing tomorrow.
My question is that on one of the pages after testing it asks you 2 questions (Yes or No) and to state a reason why.
I can't remember off the top of my head what the questions...
Passed 2391 practical today I was only one from my class - well made up. :)
Advice to anyone ready to take practical - make up a few leads with croc clips on each end use instead of the terminal blocks they provide for doing R1+R2 - much quicker.

Hi everyone,
Can anyone give me any advice on the order of tests for my practical exam tomorrow.
Do I test first and then fill in my schedule of inspections? I feel as though time will be an issue!
Please, any advice would be grateful

Hi
I have my 2391 practical in the morning and I am a bit confused about one thing. I have done a lot of single phase testing but very little 3 phase. I know that before you re-energise a single phase installation you check the supply polarity but do you do the same with 3 phase?If so what is...
Hi all,
I got tonsilitis (bleurgh!) so missed the last day and a half of my last London workshop with OLCI before the actual practical. I am aware of the circuits we have to build and trunking/conduit we have to build in etc, this is not a problem (also materials list, wiring diag, common sense...
Greetings all.
I am trying to get a few things straight in my head before Tuesday.

The way I was gong to tackle it was to R1+R2 it.

Howdy folks.
It seems quite a few of us did the 2391 on the same night so I am guessing a few of us will be doing the practical soon.
It would be good if we could discuss any issues.
I have a link to a thread that Bruce Lee gave me and I hope he doesn't mind me posting it here.
It really is...
Hi,
was wondering if anyone in the sheffield area was willing to take on a NVQ 3 qualified electrician. I'm wanting more experience before I start to take on work. The only catch is I'm still working full-time (not in the electrical industry) so any saturday work for free labour would be much...
I started my first weeks practical last Monday and must admit I am a little disappointed. me and around 10 others arrived at Watford centre and within 30 mins of talking we got given paperwork of 2 lighting circuits (Pretend upstairs and downstairs) and had to start from scratch straight from...
