Earth and bonding cable checks-any tools available?

[Pete999]

imagine been at school and telling the careers teacher you want to become a cooker installer:dunce2:

'There are loads in Curry's or Comet

 

[Plonker 3]

Surely extraneous?

That wasnt the only typo.

stop calling me shirley.

Anyone know the C&Gs number for Cooker installing? Electric of course, for Gas you would need a gas safe cert Shirley

That wasnt the only typo.

Somebody's stealing your apostrophes, Bas:censored:! :smilielol5:

stop calling me shirley.

how many times since 1980 have you used that one? :49:

 

[telectrix]

if these cooker installers are expected to check earthing and bonding, then they should have been trained how. you could help by telling them where the connections are if they are not obvious.

stop calling me shirley.

But you look so nice in that skirt, Tel!

I could easily quote from a GN etc, but those publications are intended for a competent person.
Perhaps I should teach them all the adiabatic calculation?

You see that ugly thing there? Thats my bothered face

EH?!?!
If your geezers are doing what you say, surely by definition, they're competent!?!?!?!

 

[Jonspark]

oh no!!!! not the ADIABATIC CALCULATION.

But thats what they need to learn and understand, theres more to electrics than just this cable will do attitude.

I have a team of cooker installers who need to confirm earth & bonding sizes, I have the skills to do so, but I am in an office, I cannot expect a cooker installer to know how to, hence the question.

This section of your earlier post is really confusing me. Firstly you say these cooker installers need to confirm earthing and bonding sizes. Then you go on to state that you would not expect a cooker installer to know how to.

So so if you don't expect them to know how to verify earthing and bonding then why are you expecting them to do so?

 

[Jonspark]

Is it related to the spanish inquisition?

Perhaps you should yes. If they are not competent to do their job, then why are they carrying out testing of circuits and installation of appliances ?

 

[Plonker 3]

What about BS7671 should they not be expected to understand that neither?

 

[Tof99]

City and Guilds 2359 Level 2 qualification in Installing Consumer Electrical Equipment, full CCN1 and CKR1 Gas safe quals and internal training covering off electrical testing.

The guys are competent in their field, but are not electricians.

 

[telectrix]

that beats my "width underwater" swimming certificate.

 

[Plonker 3]

What do they learn on this course?

Who has decided they need to ensure bonding is the correct size and in place?
