Unit 204 Practical Exam

[maks2222]

Hello

I was wondering if anyone here has passes their level 2 practical assessment that looks something like this

I'm doing mine soon, but I don't understand how that fuse that's spurred off is wired. I'm pretty sure all those 3 sockets are wired in a ring, but if you were to wire that fuse to the bottom socket, it would make that fuse useless since the socket is still receiving power from its 2nd line conductor from the ring above. I also don't know if that fuse is only protecting that one socket, or all 3, I cant find any information on this, could someone please explain this, preferably with a diagram

Looks to me to just be a fused spur that would feed some kind of fixed appliance if you look closely it has the flex outlet. So it would just be wired as part of the ring.

so its not actually protecting anything? its just part of the ring? i even looked through my practical book, and i realised that each time there was fuze, we only used the "In" terminals, and never used the "out" terminals, so its like there was never a load

There are situations where the Electrical Contractor doesn't supply or final fix the supplied equipment but it will be part of their contract to provide a supply. Things like Boilers, Fire Alarm panels etc. I think it is just there to make it a bit more interesting, there is the possibility to connect it up incorrectly.

Just a case of overthinking things.

Agree. It’s just an accessory that you may come across. Nothing actually fed from it at this moment.


I know this isn’t finished…. But a few observations.

No end caps on the metal trunking.

The bracket you’ve made to make the bend on the tray has the folded edge still on. Should be flat. You wouldn’t be able to run a cable close to the inner part of the bend.

The IP rated socket should point downwards.

And something I can’t see, but would like to remind you…. Sleeving on all the switchwires and travellers
