    Electrical Installation Certificate / Period Inspection

    Hi I changed and relocated a consumer unit about 6 months ago for a client. Moved it from the garage and relocated it into the house, so that they could go ahead and convert the garage into a new room. I did my usual routine, periodic inspection report first, everything checked out fine, so I...

    2391 Mistake - 9th June

    It was a periodic scenario so yes I can see it now, if it was an initial verification you would not have any of the X, N/A or Lim in the schedule of test results. Two part question, the first part asked for what inspection checks were to be made to a plastic containment system, conduit and...

    2391 Mistake - 9th June

    Oh dear, never mind. It was part b of an inspection question referring to a plastic containment system, maybe it was thrown in to confuse, which it did. They are pretty good at that!!

    2391 Mistake - 9th June

    Did anybody who took the C&G2391 on Thursday 9th June notice the mistake on the exam paper? It had me scratching my head a little in the exam, trying to work out the exact column on the schedule of test results where the abbreviations go. It was the question relating to the plastic...

    A Zs observation for all

    I was told by my NAPIT guy that I should be putting 80% of the value BS7671 in the Max Zs column. He said the value in BS7671 is for an electrical designer who will apply the correction factors to the value when designing the installation. 80% is just a rule of thumb, the actual calculated...

    Experience or Qualifications?

    I know what you are saying and I agree with a lot of it, however, this bloke is expecting somebody new to employ him. I would expect a minimum of the 17th edition 2382 exam. Not from the point of view of quoting regs, but to demonstrate to his/her new employer he/she has a basic understanding...

    Experience or Qualifications?

    I would keep your head down, you still have some money coming in. Get your NVQ 3 sorted and start to look around. You will find somebody who will take you on and appreciate you. Or start up on your own, if you have come this far on your own without your company's input then you could easily...

    Power Cut (how prepared are you?)

    In 1996 our village Cottenham near Cambridge, was without one phase for 5 days. What was really frustrating was our neighbours had power. At the time, my wife and I where in a small flat with a telly, desktop pc, a fridge and cooker. The internet as we know it didn't really exist and we had...

    Can it be possible ??

    We were made to watch "The Great Escape" during the great dinner lady strike of 1982. I had for my lunch Quatro, Hedgehog crisps and some spangles to finish off. If you tell the kids today that, they would not believe you!! Why didn't you play on your DS during your lunch hour!!??
