Yes make sure your boxes and conduit are level, the SWA could be done properly .

I like the zebra crossing effect on the pvc conduit.

What is it you want help with exactly? The image looks fine. Finesse will come with practice, so get some pieces and practice practice practice (admittedly with steel conduit that will be nigh impossible without a bender)

the thing i need help with the most is wiring it up now as i need to also complete my wiring diagram which i struggle with to be honest

What exactly are you struggling with looks fairly straight forward to me

where should i start all of this is provided with the board for my exam i just have to wire it up and test it and complete a material and tool sheet

 

[Dave OCD]

Please don't think I'm being harsh but the tone of your posts seems to indicate that you're not ready to do this. Do you understand the circuits that need completing and how to test them ? No offence intended, would like to help if possible.

If you're struggling; get a drum of 1mm T&E, some switches and socket front, mark out the drawing onto a piece of MDF (or cardboard, doesn't matter) and practice terminating, with the aid of your college notes and repeat repeat repeat, helps if you can devise a way of working;

For roses I orientate so I have the terminals showing as 2-3-3 (SL, Loop, Neutral) [from my L-R], I then (in Loop and Neutral have the 'feed in' in the first hole), the second hole in each block is for the Drop (to switch) and the last hole is 'Feed Out' - By keeping it consistent it builds memory and helps everything 'flow'.

Just practice practice practice.

Looking at the pic there are new guidelines on PVC bending radius the 1st bend coming out of CCU will be a fail as the radii is too much.

Given the that it's a taught aspect of the module I can't see that being right? Can I ask where you've seen this?

Well i am doing my 2365 L2 so we got told that bend needs to have more radii

That bend in the white conduit is very tight and it has flattened heavily. Looks like it has probably reduced capacity by a half. I would also say that it is too tight.

the whole install looks pants IMO

I missed a trick when I did my board a few years back, I didn't wire my ring circuit out through one of the black cuff things (bottom left of consumer unit) and in vai the other one; which would have made testing and finding the ends of my ring circuit much easier.

Depends what you like to use for the diagrams but I did mine on Publisher, you can draw and alter the diagram as much as you want before printing out a nice clear image. We had examples on the walls of the sort of diagrams that were expected to produce, so it wasn't that hard to knock them up, just took me personally bl00dy ages. I spent time at home and time in the college library at lunch time trying to perfect them as much as I could, did a print out for the lecturer and often got little corrections suggested until it was fit for my work folder.

you mean to tell me you have to do this install and you pass?

So it's more a ---- bend than fabricated 90s not being allowed, which makes more sense, for whatever reason I was reading as effectively saying they're doing aware with that fabricated 90 requirement which sounded insane ?

Well yes, just not as bad.
