For more information about our online 18 th Edition course with a cover-to-cover review of BS7671:2018+A2:2022, tutor reviewed exercises, online practice exams, at home or in-centre exam, and full support from a real electrician and tutor please visit… Regulation 411.3.1.2 has been redrafted. The regulation now requires that in each consumer’s installation within a building extraneous-conductive parts that are liable to introduce a dangerous potential difference be connected to the main earthing terminal. For all other cases, protection against transient overvoltages shall be provided unless the owner of the installation declares it is not required due to any loss or damage being tolerable and they accept the risk of damage to equipment and any consequential loss. Regulation 411.4.2 now recommends an additional connection to Earth, by means of an earth electrode in accordance with Chapter 54, is made to the main earthing terminal. Chapter 42 Protection against thermal effects
Regulation 422.2 now introduces separate requirements for escape routes and a new concept of 'protected escape routes'. Reference to conditions BD2, BD3 and BD4 has been deleted. Chapter 44 - Protection against voltage disturbances and electromagnetic disturbances Whilst the IET allows the book to be taken into the exam with above assistive learning tools, the IET wiring regulations books are not allowed to contain any of the following: This section outlines the relevant tests that must be performed on any installation prior to it being energized. Regulation 531.3.3 now states that RCD Type AC shall only be used to serve fixed equipment, where it is known Part 6, Inspection and testing. Remember, this Part doesn’t go into details on how to physically complete inspection and testing, it’s all about the requirements.Classification of external influences (informative). Classification codes and guidance for environmental conditions that affect electrical installations. Chapter 33: Compatibility This is where you would assess if any part of the installation will have a detrimental influence on any other parts of the installation. The Amendment continues the thread of embracing new technologies and Prosumer’s Low Voltage Electrical Installations is an exciting step into the future of renewable sources of energy and their integration into our lives. This is a new appendix that provides guidance for the types of safety signs, warning signs and instructions required to be applied to electrical installations. Appendix 13 Escape routes and fire protection This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for their correct application.
Minor changes have been made including reference to prosumers electrical installations and installing fibre optic cables. Part 2 - Definitions Regulation 717.411.4 has been expanded to take account of PME. Section 722 - Electric vehicle charging installations Regulation 411.3.3 has been redrafted and now has three indents. There is still an exception to omit RCD protection where, other than BA1, BA3 or children (BA2, BA3) and mobile equipment (not exceeding 32 A) for use outdoors, a suitably documented risk assessment determines that RCD protection is not necessary. On September 26 th, 1881 the world’s first fully electric-powered public street lighting was turned on in a town called Godalming in Surrey. These lights were provided by the German firm Siemens and used to replace the gas lighting system. However, all was not completely well with the new system. Indeed, as soon as power was switched on there were reports of problems with the wiring. This was particularly apparent on the side streets where the lights barely lit up the ground below them. More concerning, were reports of people coming to harm on exposed wires. By 1884 the town abandoned the project.
Digital subscriptions to BS 7671
Statutory regulations and associated memoranda (informative). An overview of applicable UK statutory regulations for electrical installations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 ‘EAWR 1989’ and Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations 2002 ‘ESQCR 2002’. Part 5: Selection and erection of equipment or choosing and using as I like to say and it’s all about the equipment and materials used to comply with Part 4. Changes include the addition of new regulations (relocated from Chapter 53) covering the impact and the installation of heating cables. Chapter 82 - Prosumer’s low-voltage electrical installations Option 3 – Fitting an EV charger without PEN Fault built in but installing an earth rod as means of earth for the charge point only. Definitions – multiple source, DC and other systems (informative). Multiple sources for installation supplies, including DC.
Protection of conductors in parallel against overcurrent (informative). Parallel conductor protection against overload and short-circuit. Regulation 443.4.2 requires protection against overvoltages to be considered in the case of equipment likely to produce switching overvoltages or disturbances and gives conditions. Below is a full breakdown of the number of questions each ‘part’ of the book represents. Its worth noting that this information is also available in the City & Guilds handbook. Note the volume of questions referring to Parts 4 & 5 of the book: these account for a massive 48% of all responses required. This is unsurprising given the large amount of content in these sections, and individuals should allocate appropriate time to these areas when revising. Section breakdown Further changes are included throughout all parts of BS 7671, including the incorporation of Amendment 1:2020 to BS 7671:2018 as part of the main document.Candidates should also be aware that only in the most severe cases (which should have relevant components isolated anyway), can installations not remain in use while defects are being repaired. It should never be an electrician’s intention to leave a client without electricity at any stage of the testing process. This section outlines how to meet requirements when selecting and using equipment, cables, and other accessories at work. The information covered here will be covered by 23% of the exam’s questions. The first step to answering a real life problem or any exam question for that matter is to ask yourself. ‘What part of the book does this relate to?’ For this section, it is useful to have a decent grasp on the periodic test and inspection sequencing guidelines.
