2391-52 practical assessment - testing sequence

[1985]

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 good idea to do my ze at this stage also while the installation is safely isolated and locked off although it is not technically in the correct sequence?

Also onnce i have completed my dead tests i need to ask for permission to re energise installation which i get but i have to do this with DB cover off as i still need to perform Polarity of supply, Phase rotation, PFC etc. so my question is that ok to take locks and signs off and re energise installation with the cover off the DB's?

I'd disagree...

Do your tests in the sequences in the book.

Let's remember you are being tested on 2 modules initial verification and periodic.
You only have one practical combined test
although your right in saying that a EICR can be done in any order, and I understand from what I've seen your actual completing the EICR first ..
But remember you will approach your testing rig with everything isolated so I would just carry it out in the intial verification sequence to show you understand..


Also from a health and safety point of view i know some colleges will be happy with you calculating your Zs readings. And your test rig CU will be plugged into an RCD socket so you would probably have to ask the examiner to plug it in anyway.
