Hi There
It appears that domestic electricians are falling short of the first hurdle.
Well I DONT want to so, I am pleading with anyone who could advise me on how to be creative on those competency groups:

2. Select and arrange equipment for general electrical installations...?
3. Find and repair faults in electrical apparatus...? esp this one

I have tonnes of experience with domestic work but fall short when it comes to machines and their controls.
Anyone had a similar problem and and made it to the practical assesment??
Cheers
Orrin

as a spark you should be doing this all the time

2. Select and arrange equipment for general electrical installations...?

Select and arrange equipment for general electrical installations: What is your experience in design, selection
and arrangement of electrical equipment including any experience in relation to motor control circuits?

you dont use 1 mm for 32amp circuit do you ?? no course you dont you "select" the correct cable for the job ie 4mm for a radial and 2.5 for a ring and thats whats meant by "Select and arrange equipment for general electrical installations"




3. Find and repair faults in electrical apparatus...?

Find and repair faults in electrical apparatus: What procedure would you use to find and repair faults in electrical apparatus?


again every day work mate, what do you do if theres a dead short on say a lighting circuit? you meggar it out, break down the circuit untill you find the fault then you repair it may be by replacing a section of the wirng this is "Finding and repair faults in electrical apparatus"

Thanks for the info Steve'o. I had found the following and thought that I would need to show an example of each:

"1. Examples of apparatus are Control devices; Fixed appliances/accessories; Lighting;
Single phase motors and their controls; Socket outlets Three phase motors and their
controls, synchronous machines and their controls, transformers and their controls,
switchboards and/or distribution boards and their controls, protection and/or metering
devices, a..c./d.c. machines and their controls other like equipment/accessories.
2. Examples of circuits include those supplying fixed appliances; lighting; single-phase
motors; socket outlets; three phase motors and controls circuits; machines and
transformers; electronic or computer based equipment other like equipment/accessories."

Well I think I will whip out the IEE Guidance Note 1 and get moving!
Cheers guys
