[danielTshinn]

I can't seem to understand this worksheet so it would be nice if someone can help me complete them

 

[Taylortwocities]

Which worksheet is that then?

 

[Julie.]

Well I am struggling to read it, never mind understand.

Should we just make something up?

You disagree with what?

I haven't learnt about any of this before and its starting to stress me out. I have copied the worksheet underneath this, Can you please help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

Below is a picture of a typical earthing arrangement in a domestic dwelling. This is a T-N-C-S earthing arrangment. You are to complete all the tasks in this research project before you install the system in the workshop and complete all necessary tests.
Use the internet and any materials you have to help you complete these tasks.
Tasks:

1. You are to complete the diagram using coloured pencils and rulers and connect up the earthing system. Identify the CSA of wire used for each part, explain why you choose this size of wire.
2. Explain how and where you have connected the water and gas supplies (ie. Distances and reasons for placement). Ensure you identify any labels and where they should be mounted and what method is used for this.
3. Write a method statement and a materials list.
4. Describe the methods for carrying out tests on the installation and expected values.

all measurements are approx but base calculations on these

Hi. If you haven't learned any of this before then you will indeed struggle. Why are you attempting it if you haven't been learning about it? Are you on a course at the minute?

yes i am, i would normally be in a classroom being taught this but the current situation has me stuck at home unable to contact any of my teachers

 

[Taylortwocities]

Hi there. Surely you must have learned some of this, somewhere?

You won’t learn if someone just gives you the answer.
Suggest you look at this excellent description of earthing and bonding. There are several parts. Watch them all, try and fill in the worksheet and post it here. We can then let you know if changes are needed! Good luck.

Are they not doing some form of distance learning?

Well that's a bit better - actually providing the information for people to answer Edit - in saying that the attachment is no longer available since you edit it.

Just saying you can't understand a worksheet without even including any information about what is is, what answers did you expect?

Unfortunately not, it is all online and im making no progress

Have you got any course books / resources you can look at to help?

 

[telectrix]

do you have a copy of the onsite guide. it's in there. if not, have a look here:

An introduction to earthing and bonding

Earthing and bonding are two very different, but often confused, methods of preventing electric shock. The principal of earthing is to limit the duration of touch voltages if you were to make contact with an exposed conductive part. The earth creates a safe route for the current to flow instead...

nope, college havent given me abything to help on the course and i dont have anything with me to help either, that is why i am on this website, hoping that there are some people out there that can help coach me

do you have a copy of the onsite guide. it's in there.

nope, is that an online thing or is it a handbook

Doesn't sound like much of a course if they don't supply the necessary learning materials. What course is it?

 

[Lister1987]

You should at least have a copy of the IET Onsite Guide, this should have been drilled into you to get from day 1. Is it a college running this or a 3rd party provider?

There is also a coursebook to accompany the course, again this should have been explained to you from day 1. Even if it's not used in college it is an excellent resource in lieu of a good teacher.

 

[littlespark]

Ask for your money back.
a college should give all the information you need, distance learning or in class.
unless you were skiving off first week when all this was handed out.

It is a college course on level 3 electrical installation but the college is just messing around with getting the course set up

What college is it ? I find it hard to believe that a college would 'just mess around' with getting a course set up.

Barnsley, its al online and nit really doing much learning, just talking about how the course is being held at a point of no one in the college for practical learning and tasks

 

[Lister1987]

Learning can be done remotely, not ideal but workable, it's the practical side that will get complicated

They are a large reputable college... It sounds like you need to go back to your tutor/trainer and ask for a list of the publications you are expected to have... then make sure you have them. I'm guessing there are online facilities from the college too... that will contain all sorts of useful things.

It may be that they have set you a task that requires you to go off and research the answers rather than just copying out a page from a book. Doing the research and looking through your set of publications is part of the learning, it's not just getting the answers to the task you've been given. This should have been explained to you.. via in person, online or via emailed instructions.
