The Amendment continues the thread of embracing new technologies and Prosumer’s Low Voltage Electrical Installations is an exciting step into the future of renewable sources of energy and their integration into our lives.

We’ll go into more detail and get you ready to pass your 18 th Edition exam when we go through the book together fully in your 18th Edition online course at the-regs.co.uk. Part 6, Inspection and testing. Remember, this Part doesn’t go into details on how to physically complete inspection and testing, it’s all about the requirements. Mark Coles, Head of Technical Regulations at the IET, said: “The IET is the authority for electrical installations in the UK and ensures that the National Wiring Regulations Committee carefully considers all necessary updates to the Regulations to ensure they best meet the needs of the industry.Is all about the book. What BS7671 does and does not apply to (Chapter 11 ‘Scope’) along with the purpose of the regulations (Chapter 12 ‘Object’) and the basic principles that all electrical installations should adhere to (Chapter 13 ‘Fundamental Principles’).

Classification of external influences (informative). Classification codes and guidance for environmental conditions that affect electrical installations.

Chapter 51: are Common rules that may apply to all electrical installations and concerns the operational conditions, conductor colours and labelling. This is an entirely new chapter. Historically, utility companies have managed the public transmission and distribution network from the point of view of having central production adapted to demand variation. The objective of this chapter is to provide requirements, such that, low-voltage electrical installations are compatible with the current and future ways to deliver safely the electrical energy to current-using equipment either from the public network or from other local sources. Chapter 44: Protection against voltage disturbances and electromagnetic disturbances covers the safety of installations from voltage and electro-magnetic disturbances which includes voltage surges due to, earth faults, atmospheric origin, switching and electromagnetic disturbances and undervoltage or loss of voltage. On September 26 th, 1881 the world’s first fully electric-powered public street lighting was turned on in a town called Godalming in Surrey. These lights were provided by the German firm Siemens and used to replace the gas lighting system. However, all was not completely well with the new system. Indeed, as soon as power was switched on there were reports of problems with the wiring. This was particularly apparent on the side streets where the lights barely lit up the ground below them. More concerning, were reports of people coming to harm on exposed wires. By 1884 the town abandoned the project. Any other notes or materials that could be deemed to unfairly advantage you in your attempts to answer any of the exam questions.This section includes changes to automatic disconnection of supply and additional protection. Section 717 - Mobile or transportable units Regulation 651.1 defines when this testing and inspection is applicable, encouraging electricians to ask one key question: is the installation or circuit safe for continued use? Part 2: Definitions is very useful and basically a dictionary of common terms and abbreviations used throughout the book. So, if you’re a bit rusty on some of the terminology within the 18 th Edition, it’s worth spending a little extra time in Definitions. Chapter 36: Continuity of service. Consider if there any parts of the installation where it may be more dangerous to lose the supply in the event of a fault i.e., life-support systems and if so, how we are going to overcome this.

Chapter 35: Safety services. What safety services ‘fire alarm, emergency lighting etc’ are going to be within the installation and how are they going to be supplied. The next four parts are the practical application of those in-scope principles and topics, including important safety requirements with a predominant focus on reducing the risk of injury and damage. The concept is simple; when starting a new installation, you should consult the Regs and ensure you’ve considered all aspects that might impact your specific scenario. It should then be used as a reference on equipment and environment, and also as an assurance guide, either once you’ve completed the installation or on review of an existing installation.The 18th Edition book is predominantly used by, but not limited to, electricians and electrical contractors. If you are an electrician, you are probably already extremely familiar with the Regs. It not only supports domestic and commercial installations, but it also underpins electrical practices in environments like agricultural premises, caravans, external lighting, mobile units, temporary installations, fairgrounds, highway equipment and street lighting. Questions often use terminology that alludes specifically to certain parts of the 18th edition book. If the information in these particular sections do not form part of your response, it’s highly likely that you will have set out on the wrong course of direction. However, if you have a solid working knowledge, this element of the exam’s approach will be a help rather than hinderance. There have been some structure changes, including the introduction of a new chapter (chapter 46) and a rework of chapter 53.
