Any one do the 2391 tonight?

[La Poste]

I did and I just don't know.
I answered all questions and was writing to the last minute.
I didn't have time to check my answers and to be honest I can't remember half of them.
The 2.5 hours went in a blur, I think I wrote too much.

The paper was no different to any other really in style and substance.
Although there are some minor points I might have messed up.
Like when doing a ring test with the board isolated I went through safe isolation procedure first, I didn't read the question properly and don't know how much I will get penalised for that.

Also with the global IR resistance test on a three phase with RCBO's in the board I said if the RCBO's are sensitive to 500V they should be removed and linked out then replaced after the test, don't know if they will penalise me for this also.

I'm not a full time spark I am a postman who works electric part time with a mate so some things that seem second nature to you guys are not to me.

The main thing is though all questions were answered and my handwriting was legible.

Anyone else do it tonight?

Thanks.

i have been waiting for you to post mate, i was nervous for you but from your previous posts i think you are very clued up

I done it and i also run out of time, some questions went worded the best what did u put for the 1st question was it talking about nominal voltage, Frequency etc or something else lol.

 

[CRAGS]

City and Guilds not wording questions correctly thats unheard of

 

[La Poste]

I put voltage, frequency and characteristics of suppliers protective device.

 

[lucus]

i put nominal voltage, frequency and earthing arrangement not sure but now u say it i reakon ur right on the last one.

 

[lucus]

hopefully the paper gets leaked again and we can discuss the answers lol

I tried to get a copy but no chance, I was the last out the room.

I think you're right, suppliers equipment includes earthing, type of earthing which is supplied by the DNO.
Hopefully we are both right.

 

[lucus]

i hope so

At the end of the day it's only a re-test if we fail.
It's no big deal.
Have a beer and forget about it.
That's what I'm doing.

I did it, finished 20 minutes early.

Was glad the section B wasn't a special location or a really complex install.

Thought the question involving naming 5 points of inspection for the tray, SWA cable and SWA terminations was a really easy 15 marks.

Got tripped up on the voltage drop questions slightly as haven't revised anything for it...

i also included safely isolating the circuits for the test descriptions as I would feel worse leaving them out.

Does anybody know the rough pass mark / percentage?

Overall, pretty pleased though!

 

[La Poste]

I think it's 60% though not sure.
Let's hope someone has had it away with a test paper.
