    EICR IR testing for newbies

    I must admit, I would hate to cry wolf too many times because of low IR's with the fault finders saying that it was due to a hidden appliance. I feel like the inspectors might not fully trust me at first but I guess that's the learning experience I must endure.

    EICR IR testing for newbies

    I'm qualified now to test and inspect with my company, which I've worked with for years and they are now about to send me out alone. Scary days ahead :eek: I've only ever had one issue with doing EICR's at training and its to do with IR testing. Here's a few questions for any of the experienced...

    2 RCD's on circuit

    Mhmm most courses tend to teach about health and safety and cable calcs... lessons on fault finding and installation side tend to be broad and quick since the curriculum is more lenient towards theory (least in my college)... personally I haven't been taught how to fault find properly so it's...

    2 RCD's on circuit

    Like I said in a previous post, it's practice... I'm more specialised in part rewires / new rewires... never did much fault finding but this seems like a good opportunity to try... client is a long term friend so nobody loses anything since I'm doing it as a favour... it's why I want different...

    2 RCD's on circuit

    My friend has told me that it has been like that for a very long time and was indeed done by a DIY cowboy... she uses the shed as a massage parlour but she's having to bring extensions from the house... she told me additionally that the sockets actually work fine if the load is small like...

    2 RCD's on circuit

    Hmm would've thought that would be the main solution but still it should be fixed either way right? Just to make sure there's only 1 RCD on the circuit? And yes I've been recently given my 2357 award but my area of expertise is new installations and not fault finding but honestly it works as...

    2 RCD's on circuit

    Viewed a friends house where a 10mm cable from the consumer unit is feeding a Sub-consumer unit in the shed... The circuit itself is protected by a 32A MCB breaker under an 30mA RCD at the main consumer unit... The sub in the shed is a single RCD and with a single 32A MCB... Problem is that...

    ECS help?

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can help before I call the ECS help line. I'm trying to apply for an ECS card but at the H&S assessment section I read that I can be exempted (or so I believe). I've uploaded the 2357 C&G level 3 qualification which I thought makes me exempt since it was...

    ECS application help?

    Hi all, so I've tried to apply for an ECS card but at the end it asked for the 2394 qualification, however when I looked at my certificates there's no mention about it. I called my college and they said that I haven't done the 607, but after speaking to my old lecturer he told me that my year...
