Got chatting to an alarm guy the other day who claimed "i've got my part P". So i asked him a little about it and why he went on the course. Apparently he did the course so he could "extend a ring" in his words to add an electrical point for his alarm systems. When i asked what the course consisted of, all he could remember was they did some testing for "earth leakage". mmmm so i thought id ask him how he tested it was a ring circuit, how he tested if it was a spur from the ring, and how he would check if the right fuse/mcb was protecting the circuit, finally how he was measuring the R1&R2 + Zs values. Basically all i got back was a blank look, and the answer of "well we just spur off with 2.5.
Can someone explain if they have any experience in these courses what they entail and what they are there to achieve. Apparently his boss who wasn't a qualified spark, had done a weeks course," in something" but was a member of a "part p scheme"!!
