    Initial verification and testing

    Hi All I’m in charge of the maintenance (machinery and facilities) in a plastics manufacturing business. I have a ‘team’ of little old me and an apprentice! We have 7 (soon to be 12) injection moulding machines and 8 extrusion lines, so to say we are busy is an understatement. Anyway, enough of...

    Does a CU swap require a full initial verification on all circuits before it can be energised?

    To my understanding it would be ideal to test and inspect before energisation, but it isn't 100% necessary. If it leaves a client without power, it breaches health and safety (no power to safety services etc) or inconveniences them I'd have thought it would be reasonably practicable to turn on...

    Good morning, I recently decided to buy an Amperis AK-30 three-phase relay test equipment device and although I don't control it well yet, it seems good, since it is able to analyze all types of relays (current, voltage, frequency, power, impedance, harmonics, distance, ...)

    2391-52 Initial Verification and Periodic Inspection and Testing Exam

    I sat the 2391-52 Initial Verification & Periodic Inspection and Testing online Exam last week and failed by 1 mark. I got 100% in 2393-10 and 90% in 2382-18 so not unfamiliar with electrical exams. I was wondering: 1. Does this exam follow a sequential format as similar to that of the 2382-18...

    UK Initial Verification on large commercial sites

    I'm trying to gauge what the common industry practice is relating to Initial Verification on large commercial jobs. I've been working as a tester for the last few years in the South East, and when I test an installation, I'm expected to correct any minor faults, which I do. As any tester will...

    Sequence of tests in guidance note 3 (initial verification)

    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.

    Initial verification question

    So I've got my 2391... and was always taught and was under the impression that when carrying out R1+R2 tests on all circuits you must carry out the test at all points on the circuit, not the furthest point or a selection of points, I thought the test was to A.
