Testing of a failed circuit help.?

Question

hey guys,

im currently under going an electricians course in the UK but am stuck on a multiple choice question. the answer i was expecting wasnt there!

Q. if a circuit fails a test you should?

A.issue a certificate anyway as you have done the work

B.issue a certificate but ask the customer to get it repaired

C.Enter comments on the certificate but do no completely fill it in

D.Enter comments on the inspection Schedule

i was expecting 'E. Repair the fault and continue/complete testing' but alas not! help appreciated guys!

Answer 1

D sounds like the most correct answer. Circuit failure could mean any fault. I would assume a possible live fault which could injure the operator etc.

Answer 2

This sounds like a question on the 2391 test which is all about inspection and testing, not fixing. I would think (but am not 100% certain) the answer is D. You don't issue the certificate of inspection unless it passes inspection.

Have a go at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Practical-Inspec...

In fact, if you have an Amazon password, you should search for Inspection Schedule and you can read a few pages of the book for free.

Answer 3

This question seems to be about for some sort of highly controlled process for testing, with certificates. So the answer depends on what the course is teaching.

My answer would be either fix it, or put it in the reject bin.

None of the answers seem to fit any reasonable inspection process.

Answer 4

You are certifying so that is your task, not repairing. Don't issue a certificate unless it passes all tests.
