List of test...

[Sparky12021986]

you just writting earth fault loop impediance, doesnt buy it for me, plus, ring final circuit conductors, and if was new install would differ from exisiting,

ring final circuit conductors comes under the same test as continuity, continiuty of conductors are to include protective conductors including main and supplementary bonding conductors, also ring final circuit conductors including protective conductors..

Visual inspection should also be before any of thoses

I wouldn't count visual inspection in the sequence of tests. They are completely seperate, hence why they call it Inspection AND Testing.

Inspection is done using the senses. Testing is done using test equipment.

nah, there seperate tests and if you look at the lists in most books there separate, all depends on what level you doing this... but your pretty dam close

On site guide chapter 9 page 75

9.3.1 Testing checklist...

Please read..

im getting proximity to electrical and other services,,, you wouldnt be using he book too older regs, hahah

your right to the on site guide, but this opens up completely when your a man, and what about vold drop..

your pretty dam close tho

ok your pretty much right

Thank you that is all i wanted to know was that i was right or wrong..

If this is for an exam, then realy you should have two tests for continuity.
One for continuity of CPCs and bonding conductors.
The other for continuity of RFC conductors.

i reckon he is on level 2 first year or second year.. just a guess mind you

Dead Tests
Continuity of protective conductors (including main and supplementary bonding)
Continuity of Ring Final Circuit conductors
Insulation Resistance
Polarity (can be done while carrying out continuity of cpcs)

Live Tests
External Earth Fault Loop Impedance (Ze)
Prospective Fault Current (PEFC & PSCC)
Earth Fault Loop Impedance (Zs)
Functional Tests

and verefication of polarity should be before IR....as polarity is one of the outcomes of continuity (R1 R2 Rn).......
