Discuss - Prospective fault current test 2391 in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

We had a potential of 35 fault injections and the cards were numbered and each candidate was given several random fault numbers which they injected. There is no way to know what faults you will be given. Except that there are only so many faults possible like short, no continuity, high resistance, low resistance and wrong polarity and maybe a few others all of which will be within your meters ability to spot so long as your brain is ok. Thing is to keep calm and work methodically with all fault finding.
 
What faults did you have?

A massively high continuity cpc reading on a final ring circuit,
Missing L1 connection at the socket of my 3phase motor circuit (think that’s done to make sure you test all 3 phases from the switch to the socket,
Bonding conductors not labelled.
