    R1 + R2 expected readings

    Okay, if i had a radial circuit wired in 6mm/6mm swa and the measured R1/R2 was 0.16ohms. What table or resistance value would you personally use to calculate the length of that circuit as a reference point, and what length would you calculate? Since you disagree with using the onsite tables...

    R1 + R2 expected readings

    And thats all the op needs, is a reference point. If you pay for the procerts app, they use the same resistance values in their tables to use as a quick calculation onsite.

    Use this table to work it out

    As your an electrician. Surely you can answer that yourself!

    R1 + R2 expected readings

    well, my long legged strides are roughly a metre, but my apprentice has stumpy legs so i usually halve the number he gives me.

    R1 + R2 expected readings

    Pg 218 of your onsite guide. Length of circuit x resistance ÷ 1000 will give you a rough idea of your R1/R2. Just pace out your run

    Any info on the proposed DOMESTIC Electrical NVQ3/SVQ3 that's on the horizon?

    This is where i originally read about it. I'm curious about people who qualify this way, would go about doing commercial/industrial in the future https://www.ecscard.org.uk/news/Domestic-Electrician-Apprenticeship-to-launch-shor

    Advice for getting into BMS and automation engineering

    we've just took a guy who has only done power and lighting installation. he initially struggled with designing containment for plantrooms, because he was used to installing it to drawings. he's flying and doing very well after 6 months of being dropped in at the deep end! i had domestic...

    Advice for getting into BMS and automation engineering

    i did my C&G 2365 lvl 2 & 3 at college full time for 2 years, then got employed as a electricians mate which i was for nearly 4 years. i started my nvq over 2 years ago, but lacked the motivation to complete it, though when i did it took me 3 months to complete! i could do power and lighting...

    Advice for getting into BMS and automation engineering

    Where are you based? I work for firm that only does bms feom small school boiler houses to large industrial contracts. I started as an adult trainee with my tech cets, and recently qualified with no additional training courses and alot of our employees didn't start off in bms The key to it...

    18th edition needed

    Hi, Has any fellow trainees recently applied for JIB regrading after completing their NVQ. Tried claiming my card yesterday, but the ecs website is moaning about me not having the 18th, yet some of our apprentices have claimed their card without the 18th. I knew that new gold card applicants...

    First gold card applicant

    I have my tech certs, 17th and just finishing my log book. I know the apprentices who qualified last year, to the 17th, didn't do it as a separate qualification. And I'm guessing new apprentices from January onward would qualify to the 18th without being required to do the 18th as a standalone
