Hi I'm soon to take the City & Guild 2396 course.
Upon reading the examiner report in particular December 2016 and June 2017 in the section "Verification" it states the following
December - 2016
"Majority of candidates were unable to explain the correct method of verifying Separation despite having Guidance Note 3 as permitted material. Many confused Separation with the method of testing SELV circuits."
June - 2017
"Majority of candidates were unable to explain the correct method of verifying separation despite having Guidance Note 3 as permitted material. Many focused on insulation resistance of SELV circuits instead.
I have read in GN3 and looked at the separation method and from what I can understand, in Page 24 & 25, as well as in the schedule of inspection under the section 6.0 - "Other Methods of Protection" under the sub section which states "Electrical separation for one item of equipment. E.g Shaver unit". It seems to me that this is the method of separation, however I'm not certain why majority of candidates specified SELV circuit.
Could someone please clarify for me what is meant by the term "Method of seperation"
