Don't they do a pre am2 these days I no when I done it nearly twenty years ago it was well worth doing you go through everything you'll do in your 3 day assesment

 

[jackcoyle]

Don't forget to consult your OSG on cable sizes! Even if you know the sizes given on the AM2 are correct you will fail if you don't actiely check the book.

Mentions it in section b on the form provided by 'Lenny'..
I am glad you mentioned this actually I have mine soon and to be honest didn't spot it.
We did a inspection and test simulation at our local college the other day and if I am honest took me a good hour or so to fill in the forms, without the results..if you haven't got any forms already grab some and fill them out for fun, I have been doing to get the hang of the lay out...
good luck..

its not that bad but remember to use the regs to compare your zs results to see if they comply with rule of thumb...any questions just ask as done mine and passed last week

The highest of the two readings is recorded as the installation PFC.

Hello again guys, I had my first day of the am2 today. Going ok I think, I've just got a few questions about the EIC again with regards to next inspection would that be 5 years for a new install? Also how would I be able to work out the maximum demand for the install? Cheers guys!

 

[Farmelectrics]

Depends what installation it is refer to gn3 add all breaker sizes together then multiply by 0.4 for max demand

Does anybody know if the AM2 fault finding is dead test only or both live and dead

 

[jackcoyle]

Just dead testing
