Would you say im right in answering this question?

[Superspark23]

I cant find my post from yesterday appears it may have been removed?



Do you thik this would answer the question sufficiantly?
1)
Equipotential bonding

From main earth terminal to extraneous conductive parts, including water installation pipes, Gas installation pipes, and exposed metalic parts of the building

2)
Automatic disconection of the supply,

the maximun disconection times for TN systems is 0.4s and TT systems 0.2s

3)
Additional protection
RCD protection is required for socket outlets not exceeding 20a for use by an ordinary person for general use

4)
Basic insulation of live parts
Live parts should be completely covered with insulation which can only be removed by distruction


5)
By placing obstacles to prevent unintentional approach to
or contact with live parts. This method must only be used
where skilled persons are working

I thought that image would have appeared larger it says:


The intention of the IEE regs is to provide protection against five, shock and burns. Give examples of their installations that an inspector would look at to ensure that this requirement would be met.

Without meaning to be picky, the first thing someone needs to do is point out that they need to correct their wordings. to fire,shock and burns

 

[Superspark23]

Yes, thats the college's for you. Lol, ive allready guessed that, and they want maybe 5 examples?

 

[brspark]

is this just a paper exercise or part of a practical

 

[Superspark23]

Its part of my nvq 2356, Basicly have been given a series of questions for each unit, and be working through them for a little bit and stuck on this one. I believe ive answered all the others correctly.

 

[brspark]

So in that case, my own interpretation of it would be they want you to give them examples of things in jobs you have installed that ensure these requirements are met. What you have quoted would fulfil the regs, but they want you to tell an inspector what to look at.........But that is how i see it.. Hope that helps you

I think the first should be appropriate selection of equipment to prevent overloading and thereby overheating. (Fire and Burns)
Then perhaps basic insulation of live parts. (Fire, Shock and Burns)
Then limitation of fault duration by ADS. (Shock)
Limitation of voltage by provision of additional protection by RCD and equipotential bonding. (Shock)
Appropriate placement of equipment subject to high heat, to prevent nearby materials from catching fire and to prevent persons coming into contact ith such equipment. (Fire and Burns)
