Safe isolation AM2

[Georgemidnight]

Hi all,

Recently carried out my AM2 exam but failed on safe isolation (single circuits) & fault finding.

The weird thing is I only failed one out of 3 on the safe isolation so not sure what I done differently. I’ve got my Resit booked and just wanted to ensure that I’d be doing it the correct way:
Identify circuit
Ask permission to de-energize circuit
Isolate circuit
Lock off circuit
Apply warning notices
Prove testing equipment
Go to e.g. light fitting and test for any voltage
Re-prove testing equipment
Good to start work.

Does this look all good to you? Originally I took the board cover off but I think it’ll be better to just test the loads (lights, DOL etc)

This post is getting a bit messy as its merged but basically the process is...
Ask permission for each of the 3 isolations. Lock off the circuit required. For the lights prove your voltmeter take the light fitting cover off a3md test L-N and E for voltage then reprove. For the DOL same but take the cover off (just) the DOL and test the incoming supply is dead. Prove -test-prove. Test the load side within the DOL noting that you wont have an N to test just in case a supply is coming from somewhere else and then your DOL is safe to work on. For the whole board same start but this time take the board cover off and Porive-test-prove the board itself. That should cover everything then

Hi Guys, I passed my AM2! Cheers for the tips to the people who helped. I'd recommend the XS training videos as well if anyones looking for a good run through of it. Testing and inspection next for me.
