:eek: Just got out of the 2391 written tonight ..... and it all started so well !! That rule of thumb calculation (tabulated x 0.8) cost me 5 marks. Really annoying because that's about one thing I actually knew, just didn't include it.

I thought it was a real bitch, getting my name down for the next re-sit in June !! How did anyone else find it ?

Practical tomorrow, seems quite straight forward !

Pete :confused:
 
I'm not too worrried about the single phase pfc test description, i reckon we'll still pick up a few marks, I think they might have been looking for us to state that the PSCC would be bigger than the PEFC as its 3 phase though.

I was in the same boat with regards to the single phase diagram. It was too late at the end to re-draw so I just put in bold letters underneath that if it was for 3-phase then the result would be doubled or something to that effect. Just enough time to scribble someth and 19.ing down so Im hoping I may pick up a bonus point?!

I originally thought I would sit down, look at the 1st question and go to pot, know Id fail and that was that but......I breezed the 1st 20,....Had trouble on 5 and 19 and then started worrying about 21-26.

Now I think Im 50/50 on the pass or fail. Im dreading the next 9 weeks [thats what we was told]!

Well done to those who took it. Some of the fellas in my class didnt even turn up!

Of course I don't have a copy of the questions because that is wrong and totally contrary to the rules of the City and Guilds examination boards.

I do happen to have a.... err.... very good memory and given a bit of time might be able to reproduce, sorry, recall some of the questions !

1. A new 3 phase circuit supplying an electric kiln has been installed in an existing installation. State the THREE documents that MUST be completed and issued to the client on completion of the work. (3 Marks)

2. State THREE documents on which the value of prospective fault current must be recorded. (3 Marks)

3. State THREE items of information that an inspector must have, which may be recorded on charts and diagrams, before carrying out an initial inspection. (3 Marks)

4. State THREE different examples off a limitation that may be agreed with a client which is NOT already stated on the Periodic Inspection Report. (3 Marks)

5. State from the test results shown, the most likely instrument to have been used
a) 0.03 Ohms (1 mark)
b) 125 M Ohms (1 mark)
c) 125 ms (1 mark)

6. State three situations where the human sense of touch could be used by an inspector (3 marks)

7. list the first three tests to be carried out on a newly installed radial circuit (3 marks)

8. State the effect on conductor resistance when
a) temperature is decreased
b) length is increased
c) csa is increased (1 mark each)

9. list the three different protective conductors that may be installed in most electrical installations (3 marks)

10. State:-
a) the relevant document to be referred to when considering the use of test leads to carry out an insulation resistance test (1 mark)
b) two characteristics of these test leads or probes (2 marks)

And I believe, that's the first half of Part A. 30 marks down, 30 to go and 90 on Part B.
I reckon everyone is feeling pretty confident right now, thinking " This 2391 'aint all that !!" .........

but stand by........ it gets worse ....... to be continued.
cheers mate
for taking the time to post the questions. I am doing the 2391 at college at the moment i have been trying to study everything to do with this exam. your post is very helpful, this is a hard exam and getting your head around all the terminology is mind boggling. I would be grateful if you have the time to post part b and answers to the questions i have been looking in gn3,on site,and all the rest. I am struggling to find answers to some of the questions. once again mate thanks for posting
