Any sparks on here??

[Raf_90]

Hi peoples,

Having a change of heart and left the garages and am now on a sparky course, i may actually earn some money now!
i have a few questions that i have to run past someone that actually knows his **** from his elbow?? :confused: If anyone is aware of regs and testing etc could i run a few questions past you?

Cheers

Thanks duck :thumb:

1. As a guide the expected resistance of an earth continuity test should be less than:

- 1 ohm
- 10 ohms
- 0.5 ohms
- 230v

2. What is the output voltage of an insulation tester which is required to test a 230v circuit

- 500v dc or ac
- 230v dc
- 400v dc
- 500v dc

3. What are the 4 electrical saftey checks

They are daft questions i know and i should know them! But my brain aint taking anymore info in! So if you could just tell me the answer id appriciate it lol

1. less than 1Ohm

2. 500v, basically a rough double of the voltage used in the circuit

4 checks? does it work is the main onelol


Be abit more specific, im only an apprentcie, so don't take as gospel;)

matt is right, :thumb: not sure what you mean by electrical safety check's. its pretty vague, do you mean as in safe isolation proceedure, or what etc??

matt youre only up the road from me, who do you work for??

to check its working i prefer the wet finger test

to check its working i prefer the wet finger test
...which also works on women. Result.

^^ but you wet your finger first for elastictricity and hope it wet after the test with women

personaly i use red to red green to green blue to fcuk lol
