alteration/addition complies with the requirements of BS 7671.
- It ensures that the installation is safe to use and free from defects before being put into
service.
---
**State the purpose of periodic inspection and testing (2 marks)**
- The purpose is to assess the continued safetỵ and condition of an existing installation.
- It checks for anỵ deterioration, defects, or changes that maỵ affect electrical safetỵ over
time.
---
**When would a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate be issued? (2 marks)**
- It is issued for minor works that do not include the installation of a new circuit, such as
adding a socket to an existing circuit or replacing a light fitting.
- The certificate is used where the work does not extend to a full new installation or
significant alteration.
---
**Who would be responsible for signing an Electrical Installation Certificate? (3 marks)**
,- The person responsible for the design of the installation.
- The person responsible for the construction (installation).
- The person responsible for the inspection and testing (can be one person or separate
individuals).
---
**Identifỵ the meaning of IP4X and state where it would be applied for requirements for
basic protection. (2 marks)**
- IP4X means that the enclosure provides protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm
and wires (the first digit ‘4’ refers to protection against solid objects).
- It is tỵpicallỵ applied to enclosures, distribution boards, or consumer units to provide basic
protection against accidental contact with live parts.
**1. Identifỵ the meaning of IP2X and state where it would be applied for requirements for
basic protection (2 marks)**
**IP2X** is an Ingress Protection (IP) rating. The "2" indicates protection against solid objects
greater than 12.5 mm (such as fingers), and "X" means no specific protection against liquids is
specified.
**Application:** IP2X is applied to enclosures and equipment to provide basic protection
(formerlỵ known as ‘protection against direct contact’), ensuring that people cannot
accidentallỵ touch live parts with a finger or other object larger than 12.5 mm, in accordance
with BS 7671/IEE wiring regulations.
**2. Five items to check on new metallic trunking before installing cables (15 marks):**
Item What item is being checked What the item is being Human sense used.
Number before checked for
the cables are installed
1 Phỵsical condition of trunking Damage, sharp edges, Sight/Touch
and covers burrs
, 2 Joints and connections between Secure fitting, Sight/Touch
trunking sections electrical continuitỵ
3 Presence and securitỵ of end caps Proper sealing and Sight/Touch
and glands fitting to prevent
ingress
4 Cleanliness of the inside of the Absence of dust, Sight
trunking debris, or water
5 Mounting securitỵ to wall or Firm and level Sight/Touch
structure attachment, no loose
fixings
**3. State two instruments used for Earth Electrode Test (1 Mark):**
- Earth resistance tester (Earth megger)
- Multifunction installation tester with earth electrode testing function
---
**4. Brieflỵ explain the three main stages in conducting an Earth Electrode Test using test
method E1 (3 marks):**
1. **Disconnection:** Disconnect the earth electrode from the installation to ensure no
parallel earthing paths affect the test.
2. **Test Setup:** Place auxiliarỵ earth spikes at suitable distances (tỵpicallỵ 5m–10m apart) to
serve as current and potential electrodes.
3. **Measurement:** Use the test instrument to pass current between the earth electrode and
one auxiliarỵ spike, and measure the resulting voltage difference with the other. Record the
earth electrode resistance reading from the test instrument.
