@Matthew terry
How did your first day go at the AM2

Was okay as far as im aware... got 2 hours 40 left to finish off the heating system! A lot easier than i first thought it would be! For some odd reason i used 6mm gutter bolts for the fp clips not m4s lol!!! Will have time to change that tomorrow though! Also used one for tha banjo on the main DB but as I was putting stuff away I seen brass hex heds so ill swop them around tomorrow :) testing tomorrow afternoon now!
 
Did you remember to twist the armor strands, sleeve them and place them into the earth terminal and leave the inner insulation inside the backbox

Would look like that ^^^^

Or were you told to use a banjo on it and twist the strands around the gland and clamp them

It was a 4 core sy!

The earth into the block and also flew an earth off the piranha lock nut to the same block too!

By sleeving the strands what exactly do you mean? But picture one is the one we were shown to do.
 
Sorry was eating dinner.

I only have 3 core SY with me hahaha.

Bonus marks for using the piranha nut on the SY :) I only used those on the SWA

Dont worry :)

No we weren't told to sleeve! Just to wrap it around clockwise and clamp together. Yeah its not on the spec to come off the sy onto the fake motor housing but theres no way to earth the backbox so i came off the piranha and into the earth from the sy!
 
There should be a bolt for your crimp to connect on to on the backbox. At least there was when I did my AM2.


ALSO Just remembered something else, Your ring final circuits, how have you done your earth connections?

If you look on the back of the socket they specifically have 2 earth terminals, 1 for one earth in and one for out.

Usually, you do this for computer circuits but they specified we needed to do it in the exam.

Nope, nothing on there its only like a metal back box with a front cover which has a photo of a motor! Lol also the socket we are using only have one earth terminal in the back so i shouldnt have that problem really :)
 
Inside my pre AM2 pack, we were told to use the braid for an earth of the extraneous conductive part, namely the braid. The braid must not be used as a CPC. The picture below the text shows the braid sleeved green / yellow connected to the backbox.

@LeeH What would you sleeve the braid? Or would you leave it?
