To be honest, if the hints given so far don't help then you are best to go back to your tutor and get him to explain basic/fault protection to you again. Much easier to do this in person than on a forum!

yeah i can remember doing me head in, cause i just wanted to know it all . but i didnt mind asking a zillion questions and holding him back.. so much that he use to chat louder as i had words at end of me tounge and them just looking to get out but didnt want to be rude.. crazy

Tutors job is to teach you - make him work for his money

I think you will find your answer is (D) ie: protection against touching live conductors, as in a junction box, switch unit etc:

I would have said don't point out the answer but at this stage there was a 50/50 chance of getting it right.

Basic Protection (Direct Contact in 16th edition money) is simply that - protection from a part that IS meant to be live. Terminals on the back of a light switch, busbar in a CU etc. If you can poke a finger in and get a shock off them then basic protection isn't met.

To the OP, what do you think is meant by the term Fault Protection?

 

[Deleted member 26818]

The insulation on cables/conductors is basic protection.
It prevents someone from getting a shock when the cables/conductors are live.
The sheath on some cables/conductors, (such as T&E, or double insulated tails) offers fault protection.
