Hi I have recently re-taken my 2391 exam and I am waiting on results in hope mostly!
I came across a question in Section B something like:
Q In a Distribution Board name 5 things that are no longer BS7671 and what has replaced them?
I answered with cable colour changes, from R,Y,B to B,B,G...
Okay, probably like the rest of you we have been monitoring a lot of our systems lately as we have a bit of time on our hands. We have been comparing results with our predicted yields on both software and SAP and trying to see which panels are performing the best.
Sanyo are performing well but...
Hi guys,
Im currently training as an electrician and have been practicing my testimg at home. Was wondering if anyone can take a look at my results and see if they look "average" as its nagging me as i think it seems too low (zs too low)
Ring final figure of 8 test R1 + R2 = 0.31/4 = 0.07...
Being relatively new to EICR testing, I was not totally sure how best to enter a couple things found on an old house periodic earlier this week, and would be grateful for opinions.
1. For a single 13A socket that had been connected as a spur at the fuse board (with 2.5mm2 cable) to the wrong...
Hi, I was wondering if you guys can help with some errant test results.
I'm testing a ring and i get
L-L = 0.41
N-N = 0.40
E-E = 0.63
Great
Figure 8 L-E = 1.0 ohms.
Still good
Figure 8 at each socket varies from 0.8 ohms to 1.1 ohms (I was expecting much lower)>
Oddly Zs = 0.23 (which is...
Hi all
I went round to a house with a view to move a switchline in lounge from 1 side of a door to the other. I tested insulation resistance and got 0.38Mohms L-E. Ok, just a case of identifying which of the cables is causing the problem, sort it out and move the switchline. The circuit is a...
Sorry if this seems like a broken record and hope im in the correct place of this site?
I have recently sat my level 3 exams and am awaiting results. Although i have been told i passed both my practical exams just waiting on written for internal verification.
Im 24, currently working in...
A friend of mine is purchasing a house and has asked an interesting question. He has seen the EICR for the property, which the home owner had, and the only thing he can remember seeing was the absence of an RCD.
He knows the property does not have an RCD on his inspection but it is pointed out...
I'm thinking of buying a Meggar 1730 on site, but I'm just wondering on the compatibility of the software with someone like ELECSA. I take it that the Power Suite software will record your test results as a finished certificate, but would ELECSA approve these instead of their certificates? (As...
Hia people I am having a bit of a divvy moment, where can I find the table in the green osg that shows the resistance for 100m of 2.5 t&e?
Im just wanting to double check my end to end results on the ring are correct.
Thanks
Hi folks,
One year ago I was I asked to fit a voltage optimisation unit, the very popular one. Now it is the time to share some results.
Customer's annual electricity consumption, before the unit was installed, was the following:
17 January 2007 to 7 February 2008: 8,375 kWh
7 February 2008...
Hi.
Three new circuits on one of my first proper jobs.
I hold the previous electricians (2 years ago) EIC.
On my Generic Schedule of Test results, might one simply list the other circuits (The ones I am not touching or testing) in the correct order so the form is less confusing, then add...
