    Which one? 2357 or 5357?

    2357 is the apprenticeship frameworks where as 5357 is the new apprenticeship standards. Basically the apprenticeship changed in 2016/17 from 2357 to 5357. This is the new style of apprenticeship which is more employer led and involves the AM2S instead of the AM2. Electrical has not really...

    Garage consumer unit

    I agree with Taylor. As it is a distribution circuit and not a final circuit it does not require RCD protection. However as it is TN-C-S it must be TT at the garage end. I'm sure you are not to export the earth from the house. Is the water supplied via metallic pipework? Could you not split...

    Any tips ?? Remembering formula

    I am teaching electrical science at the minute with my students and have just covered ohms law, series, parallel, series+parallel and power. I have found that it is easy for them to remember ohms law (V = I x R) and power formula (P = V x I). I then say that they can either remember the other...

    Domestic Flat wiring

    I maybe wrong or be stupid, but the properties I have worked in with E7 usually have 2 CU's (1 x E7 & 1 x Day rate). If there is a socket which works at night I would assume that it is supplied via the E7 CU and as MG201 says, it was probably a heater that was removed and replaced with a...

    Pathway to teaching?

    I can speak from experience as I started part time and just gone full time this academic year. I did a 4 year apprenticeship and had 17th + 2394/5 on my CV. Saw an advert for a lecturer at a college so applied. I think that as I was fresh from the tools they offered me part time to see if the...

    Are my qualifications relevant??

    I believe that to be an electrician in general you need 3 things: Level 3 technical qualification e.g C&G 2365, 2357, 5357(apprenticeship) or other historic qual. Level 3 NVQ AM2 - 3 day practical skills test meant to mimic real life. Once you have all 3 elements your are deem a...

    Is Nest a weather compensating system?

    As the title says........ I ask as a plumber/gas safe guy wants to fit a new Worcester/Bosch in my moms house and has said he is going to fit a Honeywell weather compensating controls system. However I would rather my mom have the Nest as it is really easy to use. The plumber guy then got a...

    Can somebody confirm identity and where to buy stock

    Hi guys, Went to a job yesterday to quote for some work and came across this CU. I have googled around and believe it to be a Curve CU but can't seem to find anywhere that sells RCBOs for it. I'm after a 32A RCBO to run a new ring final. Anyone with experience of using this brand and any...
