Hi all I have my AM2 comming up and just wandered at what stage would I carry out the phase sequence on the supply as in could you do it at thr same time as you are doing pfc as it saves taking the board cover off again at a later stage?
1 - Major supply fault, details unknown. By time I get there DNO already put in genny and are digging up road.
2 - Reason for call, heating not working. I find Horstmann heating controller and Glow-worm boiler completely non functional, I bypass controller and change 630ma fuse on boiler PCB and...
After some advice please, I`m gas safe registered and have to do safe isolation to TB118. It`s a new build site and the fast blow fuses were blowing on the boiler; the spark said it was a problem with the boiler. Put a temp on the boiler and it works. On doing a dead test on earth to live on the...
Guys / Girls.
How do you tackle an intermittant fault that only occurs once or twice every few weeks. What is the sequence you would use to identify and locate the issue.
How come the sequence of tests in guidance note 3 is that the Zs test comes before the PFC test?
Isn't it normal to do PFC test before the Zs test? Because then you can do your PFC test, put the board cover on and energize the board without coming back to do the PFC test.
Hi everyone just to let everyone know that I did my AM2 last week and I only failed on the fault finding part. I was very confident before going into the fault finding test but I lost my way and the pressure got to me. I'm so chuffed that I pass everything else.
Just to explain what the test...
I highlighted the condition of an installation several months ago to a client.
In short there is a basement which is very wet and the board holding the cut outs and switch fuses is rotten, and now starting to collapse.There are a TP mains cut out, SP mains cut out, isolators for both and switch...
Hi guys, i have my 2391-52 practical assessment tomorrow and my assessor has said we have to perform the tests in sequence as stated in gn3 - 2.6.4
Few questions i have are:
Once i complete safe isolation procedure and remove cover first up is continuity of protective conductors, surely it's a...
i'm a bit confused with this question, it doesn't state what kind of fault so the question is open to a broad spectrum, i'm aware the first point is speak to relevant people regarding faults but after that it could go so many ways.
am i missing something here? i'm reading through the nvq3...

Hi there, I'm wondering if you gentlemen would so kind as to bless me with your wisdom.
Just to confirm, this is a question that I am attempting to answer as part of 304 of the 2365, so a point in the right direction with my answer would be mightily appreciated.

Anyone else waiting on results back from a recent 2395 exam?
I done it 2 weeks ago and should find out how I done tomorrow.
I feel I lost a whole chunk of marks on two questions based on:
1) Earth rod resistance testing
2) Phase sequence testing
Naively neglected these topics during revision...

Hi. Could someone tell me after Ze test is it then Pfc test with Zs after this is how my tutor says it is because the cover is already off after doing Ze so then do Pfc test and put the cover of CU back on and perform Zs. But in GN3 it says earth fault loop impedance which I assume is both Ze...

So we have a...
Hi,
I've been having a nose through some of the old past Chief Examiner reports and the December 2011 edition has on page 5 has the following quote:
