A2 and A3 radial circuits

[bf03yvd]

Where some information regarding the above circuits, a more detailed version. My manual only gives a brief outline.:sorcerer:

 

[Richard Burns]

A2 and A3 radial circuits are standard circuits classified in appendix H of the OSG.
The limitations that are relevant to these circuits without calculations can be determined from the information in chapter 7 of the OSG choosing the cable size and protective device parameters detailed in appendix H.
The A2 and A3 circuits are shown diagrammatically in appendix 15 of BS7671.

What manual would that be?

The Electrical Trainee step by step guide to asking others to do your work for you?

The domestic installer book version 4.0 which basically you need a PhD to understand it.

Did a training provider issue you with this book?

 

[bf03yvd]

I think every trainee gets one. It came with a brief case and all the other resources. I'm not moaning though, just thought it should have come with an idiots guide too lol.

The only book i was told to purchase when attending college for day release each week was BS7671.

Can't say i have ever heard of Domestic installer version 4.0. This is issued from a short course provider i guess?

Now that i doubt very much!!

In years gone by you needed a pretty good math level to be taken on as an apprentice. Now the tecnical aspect of an electricians training hasn't changed much over the years, but the level of math of those that are now trying to get into the industry via the back door has.

To be accepted for an electrical apprenticeship nowadays you need to have GCSE's Maths & English or take an on line test to see what level they are at. They need to achieve at least level 1 to be accepted. Then at college, they will do functional skills level 2 in both, as well as their NVQ knowledge stuff, it's part of their framework.

But I don't know what, if any, Maths skills they need for the back door entry route!lol

There are one or two that need basic English skill though imo

For my course you needed Cs in english and maths to be accepted Ds were a bit iffy and needed an interview and now if you're attending college you need to get a C grade in English and take a GSCE english course ... Same with Maths if you don't have a C grade.

More than one or two..lol.
They still have to do Maths, English & ICT level 2 functional skills at college. If they don't pass all of them, they cant complete their apprenticeship.

i got as levels (half an a level)

me and another lad didnt bother bringing a calc because you can work them out in your head during most of the level2.

to be fair the other lad was do maths a level so he was quicker than the guys with a calculator

They didn't mention ICT or even care about that at my college... It's just Maths and English

If you are at Bradford college, then you will need to do it, unless you are exempt?
Have you already got a recognised ICT cert?

 

[davesparks]

I started my apprenticeship with A levels in physics, chemistry, electronics and drama&theatre studies.

I feel overqualified now!

I have a pass overall but it hasn't been mentioned to any of my classmates about ICT. we've gone through getting people into either Functional skills or GCSE Maths/English
