BS7671 17th edition Amendment #1 DPC

IIRC, it's IET now.

No. They are currently still published as the IEE Wiring Regulations, and all associated books are also published under the IEE brand which is owned by what is now known as the IET.

Personally I believe that it would be a huge mistake to drop IEE from the name.

they HAVE dropped the extra E from the DPC that this thread refers to..
so it becomes the IET at the next amendment.. ( green copy ).

I believe that was the point I was making. However I don't feel that they should drop IEE from the name of the Wiring Regulations. (The IET own the IEE brand.)

As it is merely a Draft for Public Comment, it doesn't necessarily have to happen if people complain about the change.

Wow, trying to explain why the odd multiples of the 3rd harmonic of the fundamental frequency is important is going to be a doozy.
The kids in my class this year had a hard enough time with R-L-C circuits and pythagoras.

It is a sad, but undeniable, fact that some people who want to become electricians don't have the ability.

 

[ColJack]

never been taught it.. why is it important then?

 

[OwainDIYer]

will their eventual publication require an update of qualifications?

I'm sure there will be a course you can do, yes.

Depends what level your job takes you to, Col. If you work mainly in industry designing systems as well then RLC circuits, 3rd harmonics and Pythagoros are pretty important

Cool, at least there's some reasoning behind it.

 

[GaryMo]

An update of qualifications won't be required solely for the new amendment though.

There seems to a concensus or, at least a large number of us agree that we are being treated as a cash cow, just think of the revenue this will ultimatley generate, and out of whos pocket will this come, yes thats right ours, not one penny of the cost of this will come from joe public because at the end of the day we cannot pass this onto the public. A new set of regs, more update courses, a whole raft of new forms, yes new, just wait and see. I am pretty glad I am a one man band heaven help you guys with 4 or 5 of a staff very soon as one poster said the regs will be chucked in a drawer and forgotten about and common sense and experience will prevail Ah rant over
up the revolution

Ahh you mean the way it used to be

Isn't DRM fun? Acroread (the unholy, awful, bloated POS) will open it on Linux. I doubt anything else will..

Even acroread on linux doesn't seem to like it here "the current file cannot be viewed because a plugin is not availbale in the current configuration". It seems this isn't ordinary pdf protection (which is trivial to bypass) but something stronger.

Works perfectly for me, perhaps you should take your distro out back and shoot it.

Can't read it with Ubuntu document viewer or KPDF - both ask for passwords.

if you install the Linux version of Adobe Reader it's fine, as Monkeh said.
