Hi guys, had my interview for my course last week and have been given a place, starting on 28th August with induction.
Those that have done the 2365 L2 course, are there any reference materials you recommend?

Following on from another thread I have just replied to it got me thinking about ring circuits and reference methods.
Appendix 15 shows a ring on a 32A MCB. It does begin with a get out clause regarding thermal effects but it just points you Chapter 42 which deals with fire.

This is something I've been meaning to ask for sometime.
What do you guys put for 'Distribution reference, or distribution reference number' on the forms? Sometimes there is what looks like a specific number on the CU, but more often than not there is nothing to distinguish a particular CU.

Eg. Swa mounted on cable perforated tray feeding an isolator, then out of the isolator with pvc singles in pvc conduit
Type of...

Hi, been looking at which reference method would be suitable in this case. The cable drops of a ring circuit to each socket are fixed direct to a concrete block wall (using capping) ; kingspan boards are to be dot&dabbed directly to the wall. Im thinking worst case would be ref method 102...
Hi all,
I'm not an electrician, just like to understand things for self learning. I was reading about how reference methods will derate the cable. However, either I have some misinformation or I am not fully understanding.
Given the example of twin and earth, inside plastic conduit, buried in...
I am trying to select a suitable conductor size from Fig 4D1A of the BS 7671 Book, and am encountering a problem because the circuit does not conform to one Reference Method. The circuit conductors leave the distribution board in wall mounted steel trunking, then run through some steel conduit...
