Have you got a copy of BS7671:2008?

 

[Taylortwocities]

Or Guidance Note 3, or the On Site guide.

All of these give the information you need. You'll need these if you're thinking about getting a qualification in electrical stuff.

I'll add functional testing to the end of Jocksparks list.

As I've had a sleep and am feeling a little more helpful.

Go here and read ALL of it
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Book/8.1.1.htm

The sequence of tests is included but you need to understand what the tests are and why they are done in that sequence.

thanks taylor it was a bit late when i posted i don't know if we should have
helped what course is he on if he is a student
with no books and if he is not a student is he attempting these
tests on his own i like to help if i can and like to get help when i need it
but sometimes i wonder

 

[JohnD]

perhaps he was asleep or mucking about in class and didn't take any notes.

tests are a way of weeding out the students who aren't interested enough to do the work.

Selective stategic repetative application of 230V AC works well too.
