Help for testing

[Cj24]

Hi I work on building sites and obv we have to test all of our installations but we have certain people who end up testing but I wud like to learn, do u knw of any books that I cus get that break testing down and explain wat to do and how in very simple terms

NIC-EIC Publication, Inspecting ,Testing and Verification

 

[acat]

Guidance Note 3 and Practical Guide to Inspection and Testing by C kitcher ISBN 9780750684491.

I recommend the first one as that is the one the exam is based on and the second because its not so heavy on theory but covers everything and has plenty of pictures so you can see what he is talking about as if you were doing the actual test

Hope they help

do Megger still publish their testing book it was quiet good from what i can remember??

 

[pevvers]

There are also the NICEIC DVD's on initial verification and periodic reporting. They're very good as well, and may be easier to learn from as they show you how to do it all... Some people find this easier than reading a book.

Not that I'm aware of. However they produce some good DVDs on inspection and testing for both domestic and industrial scenarios. Being too lazy to check the boxes I think they deal with initial verification.

DVD10 and DVD20 on their site.

Wats the diff or wat is r1 and r2 / R1 and R2

 

[pevvers]

r1 is the end to end resistance of the line conductor of a ring.

r2 is the end to end resistance of the CPC of a ring.

R1 is the resistance of the line conductor from whatever point you measure it from (normally end of line).

R2 is the resistance of the CPC from whatever point you measure it from (normally end of line).
