New comments policy

I’ve updated my comments policy again. Sadly there are too many antisocial types who post really long-winded comments, which all too frequently dilutes the main purpose of each post with off topic points. On the whole, I prefer not to edit people’s comments. I had already imposed a maximum word length and this seemed to work. Certainly it gave certain commentators a discipline which they otherwise seemed to lack – they got their points across far more succintly. However, 500 words was far too generous. The reason for further limiting it is that my experience has been that serious commentators can manage to limit their comments to fewer words and only the ramblers use more. Therefore, this morning I’ve installed an automatic comment character limiter. This restricts the commentator to 1,700 characters, which is enough for approximately 250 words, according to the legendary in its own copy writing lunch hour lorem ipsum generator. That ought to be long enough to make a point without beginning to dominate the discussion.

Mock Exam #1: City & Guilds 2382-12 17th Edition Wiring Regulations BS7671:2008



Normally you would get 2 hours to answer 60 questions. Therefore, you should set yourself 1 hour and 20 minutes to answer these 40 questions. I decided not to include an automatic timer because if you can’t work how to time yourself when doing a mock exam, you’re hardly going to be a competent electrician are you?


This exam doesn’t include any questions with diagrams or electrical symbols in them. Sorry about that. The actual City & Guilds 2382-12 is an open book exam. You’ll need a copy of the Requirements for Electrical Installations: BS 7671:2008 Incorporating Amendment No 1: 2011: IET Wiring Regulations to take in with you. It’s a riveting read, honest. It’s even got a dog in it. If you don’t like spoilers quit reading and get on with the mock exam. Okay, here goes – the dog dies a horrible death because its owner didn’t familiarise himself with the wiring regulations.



Although I've made much effort to ensure the answers are correct, please do not rely on these answers as a guide to electrical work! There's no substitute for being properly qualified! Only competent people should undertake electrical installations...
