revolt3k · Apr 13, 2009

Cant seem to find it now, could somone remind me of the following when carrying out the schedule check list.

1. Presence of earthing arrangements for combined protective and functional purposes

2. Presence of adequate arrangements for alternative sources where applicable

3. Choice and setting of protetive and monitoring devices (fault or overcurrent protection)

Segregation of saftey circuits. <- Fire alarms and alarms etc ?

Many Thanks in advance

Hi.

1. This is extremely rare and you would not come across it in a domestic situation (all to do with high protective conductor currents and how they are filtered out) so an N/A in the box.

2. This is only applicable if you have a back up system such as a generator or UPS setup, again for domestic usually N/A

3. You should really know this one mate as it's all to do with selection of the correctly sized RCD's and MCB's for the installation, so this one gets a tick in the box.

I thought that was what the 3rd one was but would rather check. So Segregation of saftey circuits. <- Fire alarms and alarms etc ? would this be correct mate?
