Been using one of these last week, pretty good http://www.screwfix.com/prods/16606/Drill-Bits/Masonry-Chisels/SDS-Plus-Chisels/Armeg-SDS-Plus-Channelling-Chisel-55mm

I have just finished level 3 of the 2330 what I found was No structure to the course. Poor levels of teaching (apart from one guy) with lecturers not up on current regs Undisciplined classes with the younger apprentices unmotivated and uninterested and so caused disruption City...

using the resistivity formula would you not get 0.022 ohms ? the pat test limit is 0.1 ohm

Cheers, Are they not manufactures guidelines to follow, regarding lead length ? and thanks for that in line connector, I think a cable connector will be fine, I'm not That worried :)

Indeed, I was a bit confused, I had a nagging voice in the back of my head about appliance leads, and what you could and could not do., So...I think I am right in saying that you can repair, but not extend.

Yeah, thats the sort of thing. I think what I am thinking of is that you are not allowed to extend a lead on an appliance?? Thanks for reply

Well not extending but replacing a section. This is a metal fridge in a bar. It has failed its earth continuity on a PAT Test with a reading of .26 ohms. The cable also shows signs of repair (Taped up lead) The correct thing to do is replace the entire lead, however the fridge is...

I know what you mean, I have the basic entry level PAT tester but I am finding I prefer to use, and trust more my MFT. Cheers.

Cheers ericmark New to PAT testing and I quite like to do the leakage test instead of IR for IT equipment, and other things like microwaves, and washing machines etc that may have a PCB. But when it come to class two I was wondering what's the point, if you don't have a protective...

Don't know if I am having a bit of a brain freeze, but measuring earth leakage current on class two equipment. Is the machine (in this case a PAT Tester, kewtech KT71) measuring the difference in the phase and neutral and calculating that any difference is leaking to...somewhere!! thanks

Personally I like a bit of a gap between outlets, I think its more aesthetically pleasing

Thanks Taylortwocities

Anything will conduct electricity if there is enough of it. Just think of air and lightning The metals are in the following order Silver Copper Aluminum As for the others I would say People Trees Plastic Unless they are being tricksy and really mean to say people are...

Thank you plugwash most appreciated 'avoid having non rcd protected conductors in a metal enclosure only protected by the TT earth' Yes, that makes sense OK JohnD I don't know?, but I guess you could test to see if the water pipe is continuous with the house earth, and if yes, The...

Sorry to dig up an old topic, but this issue still causes me some confusion So just to clarify. TNCS is OK to supply an outbuilding as long as no earthy metal that need main protective bonding is in the out building If earthy metal is there and is main bonded back to the house CU then...

Going to do some PAT testing for the first time tomorrow. Read through the COP,not really a great deal of info about the practical side of testing I thought, £35 as well... I am a little wary of the Insulation resistance tests, as I don't want to damage anything. I won't be IR testing...

Many thanks for the replies. Interesting that nobody has condemned it. This is about the worst I've seen so far, but I do have limited experience. I popped back to check if they was any continuity between the two earth bars. When clipped onto the actual bars I got >2000&#937...

I would appreciate your thoughts on this please. This belongs to an old bloke I know (Ex. electrician) who let me have a look at his CU because he knew I was training to become an electrician, so this is not a job. I was quite concerned...

2330 is the course you will need to take. It comes in two parts, level 2 and level 3 You can study full time or part time. I did one day a week, so level 2 took two years and level 3 one year. Level 2 cost £500 a year, and level 3 £1100 During that time you will hopefully be taken on...

I think the CPC's for the connector blocked circuit was connected via the earth screw for the back box. Will find out more today. Many thanks[/code]
