I was thinking about it last night when i should of been trying to get to sleep,
2.1 ohms end to end of L-L & N-N
cannot remember cpc resistance.
I will ask the spark for the test results.
Trailer boy.....
Was asked by client to change cu
Asked tutors at college if they could recommend a qualified part p spark (nic)
One was recommended and a phone no supplied
I gave the guy a call and as i am studying at the same college as he qualified from he accepted the job of testing and certing the job for me.
I changed the cu as the installation looked sound enough, and called the spark in.
As far as im concerned this was a formal arrangment and test.
He came and tested. 3 out of 7 circuits failed.
I paid him his fee which i dont mind and it has hit home the importance of testing an installation before any work commences............
I need to obtain the test results i think.
He was testing all circuits to issue a EIC.
At college we have covered testing, IR, continuity, earth fault loop impedence , rcd, couple of (basic) cable calcs, zs=ze+(r1+r2) but not form filling yet or evaluation of test results and to be honest i would not attempt a house without someone qualified and good at their game next to me. To date i have only done the dead test on college practical assessments. In september i start my third year and will be covering in great detail test and inspect, 17th edition wiring regs and i have started my nvq level 3.
hope this helps
