[jassyo06]

HI, I DONE MY LEVEL 303 WRITTEN EXAM YESTERDAY I WAS told this exam only really dealt with fault rectification and similar???not true this exam i sat covered all the course work i had done from 201 303 i was told by my tutor that 302 could cover all your course work and 303 was for inspection and testing and rectification,all i can say is this version of this exam was much more difficult than 302 so beware anyone about to sit it it can be very tough indeed and its the most difficult exam i have had i have been studying for betwen 8/10 hours a day for 3 weeks fr this exam as well,and what more infuriating is how frickin long it takes for them to get your mark back to 6 weeks...........rediculous

1) Ask for permission to isolate supply
2) Turn off the power
3) take off the cover of the unit

5)L2+N
6)L3+N
7)L1+L2

the 205 for me was just single phase???? im going onto year 3 soon and aint done any 3 phase, would this come up in year 3

may be a bit late mate, but i would get a saftey passport (aka CCSNG). this will allow you onto more sites than the ECS, although it is more expensive.

It's a CCNSG and i've had one for over two years and never got a job with one! CSCS/ECS is the card that most construction sites recognise unless you want to work on power stations, petrol forecourts etc of which then you'll need the safety passport but I think its a waste of 100 quid plus VAT! Also I started on a new site yesterday and why is there always one idiot who never has a CSCS card or any equivalent? They reckon they've never had to have one, rules are no card no job!

At my college they say they like to teach us more then we need to know for level 2 so that level 3 won't come as such a shock, the only practical we have done 3 phase is locking off a 400v supply and we have done a little bit of theory.
From what i've been told then yes 3 phase will be part of level 3.

I can add "and post warning notices" on the end of number 1

I would also maybe add to point 1 to observe and consider any safety services or other systems that may be affected by isolation. Being given the nodd by someone to isolate doesn't really mean that they are aware of the affect isolation may have on the existing installation.
