Coursework-HELP PLEASE!!!!

[Delboi1992]

Hi everyone I will be posting a lot of questions here in the next few hours I would really appreciate it if you can tell me most of the answers as I am not getting far searching on the internet.

1. Approximately how much of the conductor should be bare, ready for termination?

2. [FONT=&quot]In relation to a fused spur, what does ‘un-switched’ mean?

3. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]How would you make sure t hat a system had been safely isolated?

4. [/FONT]Give examples of the types of cable you are likely to find used in plumbing installations in a typical domestic dwelling.

5.Give three examples of good practice when installing cable runs.

6.A switched fused-spur outlet is not suitable for:

a pump
b an immersion heater
c a central-heating programmer
d a macerator-type WC



7a.If using a metal fused-spur outlet box, what must always be installed where the cable passes through the wall of the box?



b.What do yo u think is the reason for this?

sorry mate doin this on my phone and its going a bit mad. 5 cables cliped direct to joist. cables ran through joist with joist drilled out where no screws could damage cable. If joists are notched ensure to place metal plate 2 protect cable

6 not sure wot d is but its b immerson heater as they draw 13.6 amps (i think) on 16 or 20A MCB so you would not use a 13A fused spur for this, B.

7 a grommet 7b if is to protect isulation of cable espcially single core cables from rough edges on metal box which could knick inuslation of cable which can make contact wif metalt box which then becomes live
