Product Description
* Do you need to inspect, test and certify the electrical work you carry out?
* Are you unsure what Part P and other legislation require you to inspect and test and how to do it?
If you have answered yes to either of these questions, this is the book you have been looking for. It covers all the basics of inspection and testing and illustrates step-by-step and in full colour how to carry out the different tests. Examples show how to verify recorded test results and how to certify and fill in the required forms. It also addresses problems encountered on the job and how to avoid and solve them.
This book covers all the theory required for passing the City & Guilds Level 3 Certificate in Inspection, Testing, Design and Certification of Electrical Installations (2391) and includes sample questions and scenarios as encountered in the exams. Further questions encourage readers to research answers in the On-Site Guide, as required in the exams for Part P Competent Person courses from EAL, NICEIC, NAPIT and others. Model answers for all questions are also provided. The book will also help prepare students on City & Guilds 2330 Level 3 courses, NVQs and apprenticeship programmes for their practical inspection and testing exams.
With its focus on the practical side of the actual inspection and testing rather than just the requirements of the regulations, this book is ideal for both experienced electricians and those working in allied industries, such as plumbers and heating specialists, kitchen and bathroom fitters, alarm installers and others, whether they are working on domestic or industrial installations.
Chris Kitcher is an Electrical Installation lecturer at Central Sussex College and has 45 years of experience in the electrical industry.

An Excellent Book
This book is an excellent guide to inspection and testing. It keeps the theory down to what you need to know to get the job done, without a load of waffle.
The book is full of pictures which are clear and in full colour, showing real electrical installations and how and where to connect test leads. There are also images of testers( Kewtech and Megger) and how to set them up correctly. The author uses a step by step approach and coupled with the photographs you cannot go far wrong.
There are lots of examples of certificates and how to fill them in for example installations. Details of what the values mean and how to calculate/ measure them are also included.
If you are looking for an inspection and testing book I can honestly say buy this one, it is excellent.
A must for anyone in the Electrical Installation field
I was fortunate enough to have been taught by Chris Kitcher at Crawley College for a couple of years before I moved to N.Ireland.
I remember at Crawley barraging him with questions, scenarios etc which he always answered and with references to the regs.
A lot of the questions now appear with answers in the book (although I could still come up with a load more now !!)
I heard this book was due out several months back from students being taught by Chris and knew it was going to be the right book for all electricians out there getting their hands dirty!. I'm definately not disappointed at all. The book is excellent. Look forward to more technical books from Chris if he can get away from Southampton!!
Breath of fresh air
I found the book to be a breath of fresh air from all those other tecnically loaded , anorak wearing , train spotting text books .
The author certainly has a well grounded knowledge of the practical applications of testing and inspecting.
