Just wondering as these are the acceptable insulation resistance readings for SELV and PELV circuits in Guidance Note 3?. Cheers
 
Sorry guys didnt make myself clear. The page in question is 43 and its referring to testing IR of multicore cables. Still would be interested to know what 1 MCΩ and 1 Mf2 equates to though. Never seen it expressed like this. Cheers

What edition are you using? I have the sixth edition and can't see "1 MCΩ" or "1 Mf2" on the page. Can you post a photo of your page?

I think you might have a dodgy copy of GN3 there! Mine has the same cover and not those mistakes!
 
Thanks guys. Clears that up anyway. Don't bode well for when i take exams. Bought off bloody amazon aswell. Is it quite common? take it buying straight from IET in future the best bet?

If you've only just bought it, get onto Amazon straight away, they should refund you.

go on amazon and contact them, they will refund etc straight away.

always check the seller through amazon, there also a market place
 
Exactly as shanky and others are saying. Contact amazon asap. They will refund you no question but make it clear to them about it being a fraudulent copy. I had same problem with a new green regs book. Pretty good copy as it goes but had instant refund no questions asked. Didnt even ask me to send the book back. Came in handy for the wonky coffee table leg!!
 
They will refund you mate, one of my college mates got a fake bs7671 big green book from amazon he had it for about 2 years till he realised certain mistakes and amazon still gave him his money back even after 2 years he just had to send a picture of the part that was fake to prove it. Good luck mate.

go on the contact us section then put your number in.

beats waiting on hold because they call you
 
Well thanks to the OP for this one. Turns out I have similar errors in my copy, also bought from amazon... I will be on to them and the IET this afternoon. Good job I was going to have to buy a new one in Jan anyway .. lol.
 
Just to update .... looked at the seller's feedback just now. Through June and July of this year he had over a hundred 1 star reviews for books not arrived, and back in May a bad review stating a counterfeit item was sold. Seems like he got rumbled in May, continued taking money but not sending the books out..... How amazon still have them listed as a seller is beyond me.

What I mean is that the seller kept taking orders and payment but not sending any books out for over three months resulting in over a hundred customers ripped off ! and amazon still let them have an active account !
 
Thanks guys puts mind at ease that should get refund. Altho worrying that amazon is using some dodgy sellers. Will email them later. IET direct if possible from now on I think
 
Evening chaps just an update. I checked out amazon seller closed store since and reviews went right downhill. I contacted amazon and they said they usually give full refund in these circumstances so good news anyway. That and trying to be scammed on ebay earlier and an agency trying luck at min seems like the whole world's at it. Sometimes makes me think the only honest hardworking souls left are us lot on the building sites. Cheers for advice aswell probably wouldn't of tried refund as thought it was unlikely
 
If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in tonight's programme, you can contact Mark Coles at the IET on 01438 765599. He will pass your information on to their legal team to try and persue these unscrupulous gits.
