Just had a go at the 2391 practical, and messed it up. have a lot of experience and did my theory home work, but time was the problem.
It was a periodic inspection and I thought this meant a 10% inspection, followed by all the usual instrument tests, then writing out certificates. Actually I was told it was a FULL periodic, whatever this is.( I haven't managed to find the description in GN3 or BS7671. Can any one help with this)?
Anyway I was informed by the examiner that this meant taking off ALL the covers from all circuit outputs, including final ring circuit, and then of course putting them all back on again before the live tests, which incidentally had to include Ze.
I actually spent a whole hour of my test taking covers off and putting them on again, which didn't seem to me like a test of my understanding and ablity.
However, that is the nature of it, so I would be pleased to hear from anyone who has succesfully done this, and especially would appreciate some tips on how to organise to get all done in the time allowed.
Is the order of tests really fixed? In this exam situation, starting with a live circuit, it would be more time efficient to start with Ze test, then at least most of the calculations could be done, even if there wasn't time to put everything back together. I would really welcome some feedback on this.
