Part 6, Inspection and testing. Remember, this Part doesn’t go into details on how to physically complete inspection and testing, it’s all about the requirements. Heating conductors and cables Regulations 554.4.2, 554.4.3, and 554.4.4 have been deleted. Chapter 64 - Initial verification Understand the requirements for inspection and testing of electrical installations (4 questions, 7%) Chapter 53: Protection, isolation, switching control and monitoring is the largest chapter in Part 5 and concerns the devices used to turning things off. Whether it’s for overload, fault, fire or overvoltage protection, isolation or just control switching. Plus, the need to monitor parts of the installation when it’s impractical to turn circuits off for safety reasons.
Devices for protection against overvoltage (informative). Serge protective device (SPD) arrangements within an electrical installation. Lastly, it is an unfortunate truth that some electricians wrongly advise clients that installations have failed testing, basing their assertions on regulations set out in outdated edition guides. Whether this is to secure additional work or due to the tradesman’s ignorance is irrelevant; all electricians should arm themselves with the current legislation. This may not be key information for your exam, but honesty and transparency should be leveraged in whatever activity you undertake as an electrician- trainee or otherwise. In summary This is an entirely new chapter. Historically, utility companies have managed the public transmission and distribution network from the point of view of having central production adapted to demand variation. The objective of this chapter is to provide requirements, such that, low-voltage electrical installations are compatible with the current and future ways to deliver safely the electrical energy to current-using equipment either from the public network or from other local sources. Candidates must be aware that ‘Initial Verification’ is only practicable in the first instance of electrical installation. Any future testing of this circuit should be referred to under the periodic inspection banner. Initial VerificationChapter 52: Selection and erection of wiring systems. It’s about cables, conductors, installation, connection, and protection from external influences, such as water, heat, impact etc. Modifications have been made to Regulation Group 543.7 concerning earthing requirements for the installation of equipment having high protective conductor currents. Regulation 651.1 defines when this testing and inspection is applicable, encouraging electricians to ask one key question: is the installation or circuit safe for continued use?
Option 2 – Fitting an EV charger without PEN Fault built in but installing a PEN Fault device upstream. This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for their correct application. The first two parts are your guide to the book. They provide you with the ‘scope’ of the Regs, explaining what’s included, what the basic principles of electrical installations are, and providing you with definitions of the most commonly used terms within the book. Chapter 43: Protection against overcurrent. Methods of protecting individual circuits from the effect of overload/fault currents including which and when circuits won’t need overcurrent/fault current protection.
18th Edition changes
This section outlines how to meet requirements when selecting and using equipment, cables, and other accessories at work. The information covered here will be covered by 23% of the exam’s questions.
The two hour test times gives you a full two minutes for every question, although you can spread this time out as you wish. With appropriate preparation, study, and following the tips in this post, you will be well prepared to pass the 18th Edition exam. Part 3: Assessment of general characteristics. I like to think that Part 3 as all the things you would need to consider if you were designing an electrical installation from scratch. Chapter 13: Fundamental Principles, sets out the criteria for the rest of the book and is a collection of basic rules that all electrical installations, whether commercial, industrial, or domestic should adhere to without going into detail as that is done within Parts 3 to 8 of the book.
Technical support
This essential update to the IET Wiring Regulations will form the national standard to which all new electrical installations and additions, and alterations to existing electrical installations in the UK are to comply. The IET and BSI are now urging all electrical professionals to ensure they become familiar with the changes. Determining prospective fault current (informative). Measured, calculated or enquiry. Line to line = (L to N) x √3 and between all line conductors = (L to N) x2. The examination consists of sixty questions, and must be completed within two hours. This gives an average of two minutes per question. Candidates are allowed to enter the examination hall with a copy of the 18th edition bs7671 book. You should use the book in accordance to the questions asked. Time Considerations For more information about our online 18 th Edition course with a cover-to-cover review of BS7671:2018+A2:2022, tutor reviewed exercises, online practice exams, at home or in-centre exam, and full support from a real electrician and tutor please visit…
Chapter 36: Continuity of service. Consider if there any parts of the installation where it may be more dangerous to lose the supply in the event of a fault i.e., life-support systems and if so, how we are going to overcome this. Understand the requirements for selection and erection of equipment for electrical installations (14 questions, 23%) The table below outlines what is covered in the BS 7671 book outlining the IET Requirements for Electrical Installations. It also highlights the number of questions in the exam will target the different sections covered in the book. The ‘Test Value (%)’ column serves to show how much of your time should be spent revising each book section. This is based on the total number of questions covered by each book section out of the 60 that will be asked. Book Part Option 3 – Fitting an EV charger without PEN Fault built in but installing an earth rod as means of earth for the charge point only. The requirements for RCD testing have been changed and Table 3A (Time/current performance criteria for RCDs) in Appendix 3 has been deleted. Regardless of RCD Type, an alternating current test at rated residual operating current (IMn) is used to verify the effectiveness. Section 702 - Swimming pools and other basinsRegulation 531.3.3 now states that RCD Type AC shall only be used to serve fixed equipment, where it is known Take your time, but not too much! Read the question thoroughly and acquire an understanding of what it’s asking you. Any other notes or materials that could be deemed to unfairly advantage you in your attempts to answer any of the exam questions. The next four parts are the practical application of those in-scope principles and topics, including important safety requirements with a predominant focus on reducing the risk of injury and damage. The concept is simple; when starting a new installation, you should consult the Regs and ensure you’ve considered all aspects that might impact your specific scenario. It should then be used as a reference on equipment and environment, and also as an assurance guide, either once you’ve completed the installation or on review of an existing installation. Part 5: Selection and erection of equipment or choosing and using as I like to say and it’s all about the equipment and materials used to comply with Part 4.
