Corner of solitude

Because I just finished my practical test. I was nervous, and I thought that I was going to lose my shit. In actual fact I new more than I thought I did.

There was three test. An isolation test, a fault finding test, and an earth wiring test. I found the isolation test piss easy, I’ve done it a few hundred times on the job at work. The fault finding was a little more of a challenge, I’m pretty confident about it though.

The Earthing was the only one I had problems with, for a start we don’t do enough new installations for me to know much about it. But like I said I new more than I thought I did, like equipotential bonding and conductor sizes. Although if there is anything that I’m going to fail on, it is on Earthing, I know I got the 16mm² main earthing conductor and 6mm² MEN link wrong. I inadvertantly mixed them up by writing them down, it’s supposed to be the other way around, and when I came to wiring it up I followed what I wrote down.
