Jutke to say thanks for posting these pictures. I had my Elesca first assessment today which I passed. I had previously printed otf these picture and they were very useful to have on hand and for a quick reminder. Helped reduce the stress a bit.

Blast from the past!

No probs, i know what its like, i worried so much about every little detail on my assesnent, I owe alot of my thanks to this forum.

I used to think that sometimes i would learn more from going through these topics on the forum than i did at collage. Sounds daft but you get straight to the point answers and explanations on here.

Hi, I have only just come across this thread and it is extremely helpful to me. I am part way through my Level 2 at College and doing some testing during the practical sessions. Im ok with continuity and insulation resistance but a bit of live testing is being thrown into the mix by the tutor and I have been a bit confused by the order and procedure of the Ze/PEFC/PSCC tests. These pics and everyones comments are a big big help.

Thanks fellas!

Hi all, new to testing myself, but after looking through a testing book, i've noticed that there are 2 tests that can be done for PSCC. The first one is as the original poster demonstrated in the pics (really helpful BTW) of testing at the incoming supply between L + N. The second being performed at the neutral bar and after the MCB/fuse for individual circuits. I guess the point being that test 1 would be to test to check the main switchgear can handle the PSCC and likewise the MCB can also safely switch it's measured PSCC as well (the book shows 2 different amounts i.e main switch PSCC of 23kA and MCB of .82kA). I get the impression that checking the PSCC for individual circuits is often overlooked or rarely performed. Anyone got any thoughts about this?

First time I've seen this but i am the only one who thinks there is something wrong with pic 2 where the guy thinks he is measuring PEFC?

Also I think the 3rd lead is only required where there is an RCD upstream.

Any thoughts?
