Absolutely yes, surely this should have been covered on any electrical course that's worth the paper it's written on.will I need to upgrade the earthing system to modern standards?
i would assume that by passing that particular course that your capable of reading a book. so what does the book say about what your asking?City & Guilds 2382-12 17th Edition Electrical Wiring Regulations
The system passed the earth loop impendence test so that would make me think yes kewtech kt64 usedDo you think the earthing arrangements are adequate?
ah, the good old 'it works so it must be fine'The system passed the earth loop impendence test so that would make me think yes kewtech kt64 used
maybe you should be reading 7671 instead of building regs. after all, the info you require is in 7671, not building regsbut the only earth cable inside the consumer unit is around 4mm when building regs say it should be 16mm so that makes me think no which is why I'm asking here
Yes as you say I think it may have been trained at 'one of these establishments' but I did it with a view to learning the basics and then helping out a self employed electrician for minimum wage or free to build my experience.If you are newly qualified the information should be fresh in your memory, although I suspect that you may have been trained by one of those training establishments that just take your money.The earthing arrangements are TT and this has a direct bearing on the size of main earth. It is an electrical regulation and not a building regulation as you say.
its not just that, its also the fact that you may aswell have no qualifications at all. you dont know what you are doing, so whoever your with is going to have to spend a lot of time with you, so the job is going to take longer which most people dont want. unless they are looking for someone with no experience and wanting to train them, in which case, they would be looking for an apprenticeas I said before no local electricians will take me on incase I take all their business once I've improved my skills.
