Evening chaps
Had my 2394 exam this Tuesday think all went pretty well but had one question worth quite few points not sure of.
How to IR test whole installation from tails before connection to supply. Spoke to few guys and few different answers were given. I basically Answered main switch and all breakers on disconnect any loads and remove any sensitive equipment. Communicate dangers to client Erect barriers and warning signs and then join N and L of tails then test between these and steel armoured? I've re read GN3 since and it looks like I may of Answered better by testing N and L separately and then these to earth separately with a earth connection made to suppliers means of earthing from steel armour of tails. Have i made a glaring error? Or am I likely to pick up some marks do you think atleast? Had few people say that should of been tested separately and no earthing would be required which surprised me and that even with joining N and L should still of made connection to earth. My understanding is that when you join L to N that your not supplying an actual voltage because you have now not got a return path (2 poles)
