Hi
I am new to the forum and finishing of my training with a 3 month placement starting next week, as i am hesitant to go straight out and work alone, i figure to do a good job takes more than a bit of theory and a freshly printed City and Guilds!
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this?
I have recently been asked about fitting some 2 gang sockets with usb charging points integrated into the face.
Testing the sockets themselves is pretty straightforward but how would you test the actual current and connection of the usb points? The sockets in question say the power is 2.1 amp 5v. beyond putting a device on to see its working and charges the said device i do not know how to test the usb charging point. This itself is a bit risky as tablets, phones etc can be susceptible to damage if they get the wrong current.
What would people reccomend as the way to test and check the right power etc is coming from the usb points or would you just accept that if the standard sockets are working then the usb points are too?
Suggestions or advice appreciated?
if it helps the item in question the item is number 1204f in screwfix
