Product Description
Product Description
Brian Scaddan's guides to the IEE Wiring Regulations have established themselves as an industry standard. This new edition will be an essential reference for all contractors, technicians and other professionals working in a non-supervisory capacity, as well as newcomers to the industry, all of whom are involved in inspecting and testing electrical installations, and need to ensure their work complies with the latest version of the Wiring Regulations.
This text is a practical guide to the current inspection and testing requirements in electrical installation, and is written specifically for the City & Guilds 2391 vocational award - the next step for anyone with a 2381 qualification, advancing technical knowledge without the supervisory emphasis of the 2400. The new edition is updated throughout to match the 2004 version of BS 7671:2001 (incorporating Amendments 1:2002 & 2:2004), and is supported by a sample test paper, complete with model answers and mark scheme. The fifth edition also provides essential information on the completion of electrical installation certificates, with a step-by-step guide on the entries that need to be made and where to source data.
Brian Scaddan is the Chief Examiner for the City & Guilds 2391 vocational award. He has 30 years' experience in Further Education, and is now Director of Brian Scaddan Associates, Engineering Training Consultants.

dear oh dear!,
This review is from: 16th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations: Inspection, Testing & Certification (Paperback)
this is the fifth edition and not only has the term voltage been used instead of current (as one reviewer has already pointed out) but in the same passage (page 20) we're informed the ohm-meter should have a resolution of 0.01 milli-ohms! erm... shouldn't that be 0.01ohms or 10 milli-ohms! a resolution of 0.01 milli-ohms would be 10 micro-ohms or 0.00001 ohms! basic mistakes such as these should have been edited out long ago!

Basic errors in the fifth edition,
This review is from: 16th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations: Inspection, Testing & Certification (Paperback)
Go to the page 20 using Search Inside facility, where the author specifies what a continuity tester should satisfy: "...and be capable of delivering an AC or DC short circuit voltage of not less than 200mA....". Now, any student sitting for an exam of this nature and not knowing the difference between "voltage" and "current" would be thrown out of my classroom. For uninitiated in the electrics or electronics here is a short explanation: The short circuit voltage is by definition 0.V, its resistance is 0.Ohm and the only parameter of interest is current (measured in A or in this case mA) which the instrument can produce in that situation. To have such an error in a textbook in inexcusable, to have it in the 5th edition is criminal. I will leave it to you to conclude if this pathetic attempt of a textbook would help you to learn anything.
