AM2 near...

[hornby]

Hi there, my name is Marcus.

I have my AM2 refresher course on the 5th and 6th of February. I then have my AM2 on the following Monday, which of course, is the 9th of February.

I feel resonably confident although I am generally not a very confident person overall which of course is a down fall and must be worked upon.

But basically... I am here to ask for some advice, top tips as you could put it.

Do you folks have any 'top tips', which are relevant to the work I will be expected to carry out?

Cheers, Marcus.

Anyone?

42 views and no reply, thats one thing i hate about the building industry. Everyone for themself It seems, and that's not an attitude problem it seems to be a fact.

"make sure you select the 16A fuses for the 16A socket outlet not the 20A. When you lock off, keep the key in your pocket not in your toolbox"


I have put the 16 amp fuses in but on the fuse holders it says 20A. are you sure this is correct?

 

[RETIREDSPARKY]

The current rating stamped on fuse carriers is the maximum current [20A] it can carry safely. The maximum current the industrial socket can carry safely is printed on the lid [16A].

I had a dream (nightmare) a few weeks ago that I was made to redo my AM2 (which I did around two-and-a-half years ago) because there was some ballsup with the paperwork from the centre. Boy was I glad to waken up!

Yeah i heard that, apprently it's being changed to accomodate those who work more often in a domestic environment?
What exaclty are they removing/adding?
I was told that the motor and MI cables are being removed, but i'm unsure of the truth behind that.

I heard the same.

Just widening the void.

Did mine in '89...first time I had ever used a tray bender they were new then(always used crimper)..had to bridge a fixed obstacle...only bent the bleeding tray the wrong way. Had a panic attack and told the instructor who gave me valium ( joke) told me to calm down and finish installing it the wrong way up...When i finished and he came to mark it....never dropped a mark....there was not a point for bending it the wrong way.

hey all. i start my am2 a week tomorrow and i have a couple of quick questions.

is the starter and remote start/stop pre wired or do i have to wire it myself?

on the bonding of gas/water is one continuous length of cable prefered or does it matter if it is cut at the first earth clamp and both ends crimped?

cheers.

You have to wire the starter and remote start stop. its pretty straight forward once you get your head round it. You get a wiring diagram and its like dot 2 dot.

Make good use of your am2 prep.

Keep a continous cable with no breaks for the gas and water bonding. Robo
