UK Electrical Testing

Hello, does anyone know of an, online, electrical installation testing simulator, please? Electrical testing as relates to dead and live testing of circuits for the electrical contracting industry.

IMO, the onlyway to learn testing is to set up a practice rig. you can introduce faults and then practice finding them.

As has been said above. It’s all about repetition and practice. The more you do it, the slicker you’ll be with the sequence and your routine. It’s not something you can learn in front of a screen in my opinion; you’ll need to build a rig, or find one to practice on.

Many thanks for your replies ........ and you’re not wrong in saying hands on practice, repetition etc. is the best way but I am looking for the next best thing i.e. an online simulator, if such a thing exists.

suggest you watch John Ward and Chris Kircher's youtubes. the latter has written a comprehensive book on testing. well worth the money. also have a look at this thread.

IEE inspection and test book

Require the above as i have my 2391 next week, have been revising from GN3 book, but just want to get my head around how they want the questions answered. Im in tamworth and can collect within a reasonable distance, regards simon

What's the back story for this? Are you just looking for yourself or as some means to allow students to practice during a potential virus shutdown?

Better still, someone else introduces them

Always easier to find what you know to be there...

I was fortunate enough to have Chris Kitcher as a tutor on my Test and Inspection course a few years back. Turns out he only lives a few miles from me! He's a great guy.

Is he still teaching at Crawley college?
He was the tutor when I did the 17th edition course.

Yes, the "backstory" is I'm looking for software/simulator for online - distance learning as the next best thing to training rigs.
