Last week I investigated a 3036 fuse blowing on a radial - different IR on each end, no continuity on the CPC. So I left the circuit isolated. I pondered as to whether the ultra low IR was related to a new water main being installed about 3 months earlier!
So I went in again today and found that...
Interested to know what other people do about IR testing results on a MWC. If your additions contain new fixed wiring then you test that and record those results, obviously. But what if you're just replacing a fitting with a brand new one, the IR testing of which seems pointless? Do you leave...
A warning to anyone out there who is thinking of parting with at least £6000 of their hard earned savings! DON'T!!! I completed the ****e 'Domestic Installers' course with NCS and the promises are not worth the crap you endure for your so called tuition! It is a JOKE! Email me at **removed** for...

Hi
Running a quick test on a lighting circuit today, was doing R1 + R2 on downstair lights. Everything seemed OK, but upon trying to prove polarity by using switches obviously upon switching off the circuit goes open but when tried switching on again and testing again I got a wildly...
A four panel solar thermodynamic system in Poole, Dorset had its two year birthday earlier today.
It is mounted on a solar wholesalers industrial unit and provides hot water and so called heating to six office radiators.
It cost £10K to install and replaced a gas boiler. It was supposed...
Hi All,
can anyone explain the purpose of the document "schedule of inspection" why we need it and also the other document "Generic Schedule of Test Results"
cheers

1. Once you have taken the 2394 practical test, when should you receive the "Notification of candidate results"?
2. For instance, with the 2394/2395 Multiple choice, you can receive the result straight away (from the centre), & the "Notification of candidate result" is then sent to you. Is this...
Hi, did my 2394/5 about 2 weeks ago now but still waiting for results. Just wonderd if anyones done them that knows roughly how long it usually takes? Cheers
Hi All,
I have done a partial rewire on domestic 2 storey flat and not sure what to write on the certificate :
I have rewired all power points and left only 3x ligting circuits , the results where not satisfactory so I changed all fittings and switches, found the faults and rectified them ...
I sat the 2395 written exam at the end of June, I passed my practical and I've got the online exam at the end of this month. I was just wondering how much longer its likely to take to get my result for the written part? The city and guilds chief examiners report has been published for the June...
Hi, all continuity test results are ok now I replaced all the loose earths in all the sockets and lamp holders around the house. The radial going off to feed the boiler/shower/not sure what else, all branches out of a old unfused spur where the neon no longer works, and this radial is where I am...
Hi there ,
just a quick enquiry , on a commercial site and been testing , just been told that someone wants to witness test a few things etc...... Just wondered what this involves and what they want to see and what I have to demonstrate ?
many thanks
I installed a new ring for a utility room today, I tested the two legs before anything was connected and everything was all clear. Then once I connected all the fittings but never hitched anything in at the CU side my results seemed to change. Live-Neutral was fine >299 mega ohms, but Live-Earth...
