Part P Assessment

[mpfisher@hotmai]

Hello Boys.
I had my assessment with Elecsa and i'm pleased to say I passed! Just thought I'd let you know the questions "he" asked me, so they may help anyone else taking the test.

1 How do you tell it's a TNC-S system?
2 What's the max Ze permitted for a TNC-S system?
3 What's the max Ze permitted for a TNS system?
4 Explain how to test a ring circuit and what results you should expect to get?
5 Where are the safe zones?
6 What depth (%) vertically can you chase a wall?
7 what depth (%) horizontally can you chase a wall?
8 What size hole (%) can you drill a floor joist and how far from top and bottam must it be?
9 On a new build what % of the lighting should be low energy?
10 What is the height requirements on a new build for switches and sockets?

Hope it helps some of you

25% of light fittings should be low energy but this only applies to new builds

I think you will find it 75% have to be low energy, this applies to extensions as well as new builds.

Hello........
No 7. i didn't know the answer off the top of my head and told him that, so he asked me to make a guess. Which was wrong by the way. But now i know and that is what the assesment is about.

It's 1/6th or 16.66 % of the width of the wall

There is no need to guess at any questions you have the books in front of you,it's not a test of your memory. Examiners know you won't remember all the answers to every question, they are trying to establish that you can find the correct answers in the bgb etc.

Do not worry about it have all your books to hand, all your paperwork ready, make sure you know where to look things up if you don't know. A breeze.
