Hmmm, the old ten strapper trick eh! :_|

Ahhh, come on JL, wrong colour JB, doesn't match!

Hello and welcome, pull up a chair and enjoy the ride :Welcome:

Just out of interest Steps, why are you not a fan of Megger?

Think your post's in the wrong place Liam, welcome to the forum. If you start a new thread off detailing what you're struggling with I'm sure you'll get all the help you need

I did a school last week and if I had failed everything my PAT tester had told me to. there wouldn't have been a lot that passed. As Andy says, it's how you interpret the results on the screen. A lot of IT equipment will be over the 0.1ohm parameter set at the factory, when testing earth...

Congrats on the pass, and only 2 wrongApplaud Smiley

Apologies if my posts sounded a bit short, didn't mean to offend, but I think you have been another unfortunate victim of a dodgy course. You don't need any formal qualifications to PAT test but the C&G 2377 will give you a good insight into what the requirements are, how to interpret...

Welcome to the Forum Luke, more whippets and caps:Welcome:

Then I think you need to think seriously before starting to PAT test, especially with a Pass/Fail meter with no movable parameters. If you can't interpret the earth bond results you are going to be failing a lot of perfectly good equipment, due to the resistance of a lead taking you over the...

Agreed, a quick call to LABC will give you a definate answer

Don't know what I was expecting then when I read that title

And Me:(

And me! I sort of thanked you earlier Lurch:x

Correct, only competency needed to do PIR. Comes back to the question of, does a qualification make you competent? I think in the case of 2391, it probably does.

Went out to a faulty dishwasher the other evening, 2 mins from home. Went in kitchen, switched fused spur on, job done. Normally charge

Good call, one example being the 65% pass grade in 2382 open book exam, qualified yes, but competent to fiddle around in peoples houses, hmmm
