NEW CPD MODULES
Extraction and ventilation is an overlooked area of building services but one that is becoming more important to electricians. In this CPD we look at some of the common pitfalls surrounding extraction as well as some best practice hints and tips.
In this CPD module we consider the 18th edition of the regulations and how it relates to circuit protection. We'll look at occasions RCD protection is required, the use of fire rated enclosures and also the still misunderstood length of meter tails.
MCBs have been the standard choice of circuit protection for decades, but over this period some misconceptions and myths have arrived. We take it back to basics and cover their operation, their application and how they connect to disconnection times and Zs values.
