in testing sequence what does sadcow stand for ?

To tell you the truth mate,i have never heard of this.It will probably be an acronym of the letters.

 

[V]

yes i know just like crippler

 

[CT13]

It's in the Brian Scaddan book and is an acronym for general areas of investigation when carrying out an inspection.

S - Safety
A - Ageing
D - Damage
C - Corrosion
O - Overloading
W - Wear & tear
E - External influences
S - suitability

I know if you follow the normal test sheets you are carrying the test out in the correct order but there used to be a word for remembering the sequence of tests, anyone any ideas?

 

[CT13]

C I P E R or something similar.

 

[xraytek]

On my 2391 course it was CRIS BAENPEEF if I remember correctly ( I was never good with names )

I think CRIPPERS is easier and I think it is:

C- Continuity of CPC of radials and bonding
R- Continuity of rings
I- Insulation resistance
P- Polarity (Continuity test that can be done at same time as 'C')
P- Prospective fault current
E- Earth loop impedance
R- RCD functionality
S- Switch functionality

Someone please correct me if I am wrong?
Although I sure I dont need to ask

 

[CT13]

P33 of GN3 (2.7.4) has the sequence listed out nicely.

[V]

cheers chaps

anymore acronyms you might know post them and i would be most greatfull

just keep them clean

 

[claret73]

Just started Level 3 2330 & these are what we are taught as being in use now:

CRISPER

C=Continuity of CPC
R= Continuity of Ring Final
I= Insulation Resistance test
S= Selv and Pelv
P= Polarity
E= Earth electrode test/earth impedance
R= RCD testing

Pretty much as rest with a couple of deviations

moderating has nothing to do with electrical experience, its to handle among other things negative comments -

perhaps ther's a site like the tweenies or something that ud add more value to.
