Product Description

This popular guide clarifies the requirements for inspection and testing, explaining in clear language those parts of the Regs that most need simplifying. In addition to the usual descriptive and diagrammatic test methods that are required, explanations of the theory and reasoning behind test procedures are given, together with useful tables for test results comparison. The book 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.

Customer Reviews

Inspect and test
Students studying for the C&G 2391 will find this title useful.
Some of the text is to be found in his other books from this series but in this book it is relevant.
There is a lot of info in the book that students will already have access to via the IEE Guidance note 3.
There are some good pictures and equally some not so good.
Overall used to compliment other titles some students will find this title useful and it is not expensively priced.

NOT light reading...
I bought this book to help me with my City & Guilds Electrical course and I must say is not the most easiest of books to read or understand. I found the terminology slightly different from other books (which are referenced in my course - namely the 'On-Site Guide'). My course tutor also finds this book rather annoying as it's not that easy to follow unless you have a good understanding of all the priciples concerned. Yes, I know the book is entitled 'Inspection, Testing & Certification' which would assume that you do know a reasonable amount of electrical theory and principles however, for someone like me who is still at the learning stages, I would not recommend this book just yet. Perhaps later on in the course it may be better understood. Slightly.

A help when required
Does what it is supposed to, helps clarify some of the more ambiguous wording in the 17th Edition regarding testing.
