Hello,
I have a 125/250v - 50amp twistlock receptacle in a 3phase building (so, 208v between hots). It's a 4-wire receptacle.
Currently, when needed, I split the phases/hots to attain two lines of 120v, each capable of 50amp current.
If I installed a knock down transformer (208->120) into the...
Good evening,
So I have recently sat my am2 and just received my results. I passed with the installation, theory, fault finding etc but failed on the testing due an issue with insulation resistance and also the initial safe isolation section. I can only think that I didn't carry out all the...
A customer has asked me to quote for some work and he sent a copy of the EICR that was done a while back. As can be seen, the person who did the eicr is holding back the test results until the C2's have been resolved?
I don't do many EICRs mainly because there are locals doing them too cheap...
Evening all. I’m struggling al little bit; doing a light installation (extra outdoor light). Upon undoing existing fixing I found there’s no CPC. Seems no CPC on any of the lights (even though there’s an earth in the DB). So, how would I get my R1 and Rn readings? I’m proper stuck so any help or...
So I presume lots of people here have done the Level 3 Award in the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018.
I have logged into the City & Guild site to see my cert. All it tells me is that I have it.
My questions are:
Is it possible to have a PDF of the cert with your name on...
Anyone know how long C & G take to send out certificates?.
I passed my practical 2391 testing practical 12 June but not got certificate yet, is over a month normal ?
Hi, I’d like some clarification with regards to insulation resistance results I’ve got.
Carrying out initial verification on a new ring final circuit. New cable, 9 new MK double sockets.
r1 - 0.43
rn - 0.42
r2 - 0.68
R1+R2 - 0.28.
Carried out insulation resistance test:
L-N - >2000 MOhms
L-E...
I went to quote for remedial work in a flat yesterday. The client is selling the flat and wants an EICR for the purposes of the sale. The last week they had an NIC electrician who performed an EICR, which they then sent to me. Worth mentioning at this point that a neighbouring flat had caught...
I need to clarify something that's rattling around in my head.
I was taught when testing lightning protection systems that the maximum permissible combined electrode readings shouldn't be over 10 ohms. So we would test all the electrodes individually then work out resistance in parallel.
We...
So I finished my AM2 yesterday and I'm expecting the results tonight, however when I did the practical aspect of it, I noticed my armoured cable going into the isolator had 2 strands loose, this has had me feeling like the world has fallen out my arse because I'm now tricking it thinking that...
So im currently doing my AM2 and doing the testing, I understand that this is simple, but when writing down the R1+R2 on the certificate, do I need to put the highest reading down? Theres a ring circuit eith 4 sockets on it l, however one of the sockets is a spur - which obviously has the higher...
When adding just a couple of circuits to an existing installation, what exactly do you put on the schedule of results with regards to the old circuits.
Just the circuit number and name or do you add the breaker details also like bsen, type, breaking capacity, rating. Obviously can't add ref...
So I am doing an insulation resistance test on a new flat and I get a dodgy L-E reading on the IR. I won't go above 20Meg and it fluctuates. Identified where the problem is and its a switched spur. When cables are removed all test +299 including the load which is 2 sockets. When all are put back...
Sorry if this has been asked . How should the results or ring continuity relate to r1r2 results. Today I got L-L 0.32 N-N 0.30 E-E 0.56 and my r1r2 was 0.76
Been to quote for a job this morning, The house has 2 CU's one is eco7 for 5 storage heaters, the other was upgraded in 2009 and all wylex rcbo's. Meter tails, bonding all up to scratch, the DNO upgraded the cutout to PME in 2009 with the previous work.
The owner is going to have the heaters...
Tested an RCD spur earlier with some odd results
Tested at x 1/2 (both waveforms) and no trip
x 1 (0 degrees = 28.5 ms), (180 degrees = 18.4 ms)
x 5 (0 degrees = 8.2 ms), (180 degrees = 40 ms)
S0 getting bang on 40ms at x5 on 180 waveform; i know its in...
Mornin'
I did a small job for a client earlier in the week and told her I need to complete a Minor Works cert - as you do..
She said that she didn't need one because she had this - waving an EICR under my nose.
Looking through the document, it all looked good until the last page - test results...
Evening all.
I am about to change a CU but have poor IR results on the ring so I am investigating that first.
N-E on the ring 'WAS' 0.1Mohm. I started narrowing it down and got to a wall mounted JB (it looked like a cooker outlet plate, it had 2 spurs as well as 2 cables for the ring). The...
