yes ive started to get things together,just not sure how "in depth " to go with formulas etc,ive not been to college since 1985,except for 16th edition.do you know if the d.o.l motor is single or three phase?and do you have to learn the disconnect/connect process in your head ,ive read somewhere that they give you the list on the day as a check off list

Hi Dick
If you go onto "Britishexpats "site, under electricians . there is loads of info bout what is expected.
A guy called Steve O, is a great source of info. Hope that helps...

Good luck, and will tell Scott to look out for you.
He in same boat as you, not been to college for years. Hes 38.

Tina.

DOL in 3 phase and the safe disconnect is done practically and has also to be written down...

chris,ive heard that they give you the dissconnect/reconnect sheet on the day to follow,is this correct?

**Mark and Ginny** · 12-01-2009, 10:16 PM

Sorry to jump in but when I did the practical, the disconnect was done from your own knowledge, not from a sheet with any advice. I don't know if this has since changed.
I hope all goes well for you guys and has Chris says if you do a search you will find loads of posts that will help.
