Confused! Plese help..

[Michael Leek]

Hi all,

An old electrician here, I'm not actively in the trade anymore but I'm currently studding for my part P and might go for the 17th as some time. I learnt under the 15th, I have the 16th, the home study course I'm doing details a number of drawings which I've disputed with the company, they have confirmed that the drawing below is correct. I'm really confused, a phase connected to an earth via a breaker, can someone please help??

Which company are you dealing with, Michael?

Hi, I don't want to mention the company in case of copy right on the drawing, but it's an online course. I know I've been out of the game for a few years but i've never seen anything like it!

Got to be a misprint, do you,or are you intending to join one of the CP Schemes? if so speak to their technical department, when you called the company did you speak to a technical person, or some customer service muppet with no technical knowledge.

Thanks, not sure about a CP scheme, i'll follow that up. This is their reply:

Our subject matter expert who is an electrical installations lecturer at an FE College and a City & Guilds examiner has reviewed the images and confirms they are correct.

Thanks for your interest

Possibly a surge protector and it's isolator?
