MK Sentry units were (down to reset and up to close) like that until a few years back, not Hager as far as I am aware. The current MK Sentry Consumer Units are diabolical.

they trip to middle don't they.

The bottom line is, a Electrical Trainee won’t have had the time needed to learn fault finding techniques.

It’s something we put a lot of time and effort in to teaching our apprentices. To the point of sabotaging a plant to let them take charge and find the fault on their own. Out of their time they would need to be able to get something running quickly, downtime at £XXXX’s per minute adds a bit of urgency. Only a structured testing method will achieve that.

However.

A Electrical Trainee will not be as time pressured as they will be in a domestic situation. And, dependent on previous experience they may be well versed in fault finding.

You are full of generalisations.

You will find they go to a middle position and you have to latch them down and up to reset , this was something that came about on the MEM then Eaton Consumer units , Its a good facility as far as I am concerned , because it needs 2 definite actions to reset , the only thing is the home owner thinks its faulty as they can not understand why how to reset them , but easily explained though...

How else can you talk - refer - discuss electrical trainee's without making generalisations?? There are 100's of 1000's of them out there...

The fact that the vast majority would have had no electrical experience whatsoever before taking these useless/wishful thinking 17 day/5 Week courses, is a more than good enough reason to state that these chancers will have little to no fault finding skills. So your idea of these people being well versed in fault finding, is not far short of being hilarious!! In fact it's something you'd expect a electrical trainee to come out with....

Welcome to the forum bigbadjohn. As you may have noticed from your memorable first post, the forum has built-in filters to prevent bad language being used. Maybe try adding something constructive to the debate which doesn't trigger the filter.

**edit** I just saw your other 3 posts in the moderating queue......classy. They just earned you a 1 month ban before I deleted them. If you can't post in a civil manner you're going to be permanently banned next time.

If you notice, I was replying to a quote. I doubt he needs you to speak up for him.

How many come from a technical background?

While not pressured to the same extent as the industrial lads, they’re going to charge for their time. Time the customer has to pay for and therefore the customer should quite rightly expect an effective and efficient service.

Could you tell me what proportion of a 5 week course is dedicated to teaching fault finding techniques?
