Course Description

Deepen your understanding of standards and regulations relating to which tests to perform on electrical installations, as well as when and why.

This course will earn you 6 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points.

Course Details

The course covers, but is not limited to:

  • Understanding the standards and regulations
  • Why test for correct circuit connections, Earth Fault Loop Impedance and RCDs
  • Earth continuity choices, testing main earth using trailing lead
  • Testing protective earths and bonds using trailing lead
  • Earth conductor values and equipotential bonding of water and pipes
  • Testing options, and why to test
  • Mandatory tests
  • Why test earth continuity
  • Why test insulation resistance and polarity
  • Fault loop examples and testing insulation resistance
  • Testing mains polarity using fixed resistors
  • Testing metered mains polarity using fixed resistors
  • Testing main switch/circuit breaker operation/interconnections
  • Testing polarity/earthing/switching/legend/interconnections
  • Testing earthed or bonded items and testing circuit neutral interconnections
  • Finalise dead testing and live testing
  • Using fixed resistors
  • Checking voltage drop, Fault current ratings, RCDs.

You will need to bring your own testing equipment to the course – our experience demonstrates it is better to work with equipment you are already familiar with, and it will assist with ensuring you can run the tests using the same equipment you will use on site.
