17th Edition Calculator

[scubalec]

Hi There

I was on a website week before last and found that they would take you through step by step doing electrical calculations,but they specified that all these calculations would require the use of a Casio fx - 83 MS , which I have gone out and purchased.

The thing is I can not find this website again.

I need to find the website so I can do these calculations before I take my 2382.

The question is :-

Does anybody know the website concerned ?

OR

Can anybody put me in touch with another website that might be able to help.

I look forward to whatever info you can provide please.

Regards

Tony

Hi Danny

Thanks for the reply.

In answer to your question,literally anything that is going to come up in the 2382 exam, if you have done it you will know what I mean.

no need to panic here scubalec....

you don't need a pc to take this exam... if you see 5 calculations in these 60 questions you'll be the most unlucky lad in the world. i got 2.

and you can take all your books in too... you got 2 hours....so no stress.

kirchoffs law is the only one you'll need to remember.

(thats the one where you have to calculate the total insulation resistance of an installation)

so 1/Rt = 1/15Mohms + 1/10Mohms + 1/5Mohms + etc

and this is a 'multiguess' exam.... so if you know that the answer will be lower than the lowest value of all the Mohms's you're almost there.

thats because the total resistance in a parallel cct is always lower than the lowest resistance... got it?

take your time and:good luck:

Hi Ian

Thanks for that

I will have 60 questions I need at least 80% , that is 48 out of 60.

Based on Tony's logic 12 minus 5 (kirchoffs law questions) = 7 headbang

I am using a the Gola exam simulator, now I have that piece of informatiuon I will use it thanks.

Oh bye the way where in the regs is kirchoffs law ?

Nothing under "K" or Cables ( insulation resistance) or Part 3

Are you joking, the regs are nothing to do with Kirchoffs law

Indeed, Ask ANY Electrical Question (and most other questions) on here and we'll all help.

With regard to finding the website that you looked at - Have a look in your "Internet History", what web browser are you using?

If IE:

Look for and click on the

tab...

Then click on the

tab...

Finally you will see the image below.. just search through (As long as you haven't deleted you history).

If you find it, can you put a link to it in our "Student & Learning" forum please?

hmmm.... i don't think city and guilds teach kirchoffs law do they? :red card

that was what it was called in my day anyway... i'm not even sure they teach v= ir either? google it.

never mind... you know about the total insulation resistance question.

and here's another bonus for you....

you only need 65% to pass.

it's getting easier by the minute. :Y

You need to pass all sections of the paper if you don't then you will fail

Hello Mate,

Can you start a new thread with as many keywords as possible (To describe what it is all about)? In the "Student & Learning Zone Forum", I will then make it a sticky thread in that section.
