Matthand20 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Hi mate, any chance you could send me that info on the vetassess test too please, I have my test on the 19th and I'm bricking it!

Matthand20 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Got some stuff I can email to help you out Geezy. Won't get time for next couple of days as we're flying to Oz on Saturday and getting last bits sorted. Send me your email adrs and I'll get some stuff sent over that I've sent other lads going for the test. One thing I would say is try not to worry about it. Easier said than done, but it really isn't that difficult. Ppl do fail on the motor connections and safe isolation, but think that's nerves more than anything. Could you send me that stuff please mate. Edited April 3, 2016 by MaggieMay24 Email removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I will send you over my revision notes, go through those, learn the disconnect/reconnect procedure off by heart, know motor circuits (all info in the notes) and if you can wire up a basic board with power and light circuit you'll be fine. They are particular about dimensions, height of switches etc.... Good luck! Which centre you going to? UK or Oz?

Matthand20 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi I'm struggling interpret something in the connect/disconnect part of the test, it says Ensure that you know the minimum allowable value of insulation resistance of a conductor/s to earth/ground by your LOCAL STANDARDS So that bit is straight forward, its just you regular insulation resistance test, minimum is 1Megohm and anything under 2 Megohm requires further investigation, its the other one.... Ensure that you know the maximum allowable value of earthing resistance of a conductor by your LOCAL STANDARDS I'm not sure what this bit is asking for????? HELP!

I went with the Ze value, bear in mind an MEN (TN-C-S) system is used in Australia so go with that value... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronspark Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Not been on here for a while, missed a few questions. Sorry for anyone that asked. I've got down emails I sent a mate when I did my practical in Blackburn. If anyone who wants it lists there emails I'll send them on. I wouldn't get too worried about the practical. Easier said then done I know, but it wasn't difficult. There's a video on YouTube that helped me out work the disconnect/reconnect. It was slightly ambiguous the procedure that they gave you to use so was easier watching someone do it. I'll forward that on with emails. They tutor at the Blackburn college helped us out when I was there. Really good guy who didn't want to see anyone fail. If you can, take your own test gear it borrow a mates. They didn't even watch me do the test on my install when I turned up with mine. Just learn the reconnect/disconnect procedure off by heart and have a look at drawings for DOL started. Got a drawing on email that I had to draw out then connect up using banana clips. Don't worry bout it, it's more a pain in the arse getting your licence when you get out here!

Aaronspark Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Few questions they asked Where would I connect up a ballast on a fluorescent fitting to improve power factor - across L and N Which 1 isn't a single phase motor - capicitor, slip ring motor, shadow phase motor, (can't remember other 1) wasn't sure of answer. Work out inductors in series. - just add together Name another smoke detector - ionisation. Which battery charges - lithium ion Ballast does what in fluorescent fitting - increase voltage during starting, decreases current on running, Improves Power factor? Not sure of answer Transformer question - NP = 920, NS = 460, VP = 230 What is VS (115v) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make sense. I was panicking before the test but much easier once you can see it done the way they want you to do it. Just learn that with the procedure and you'll be fine.
