ABSTRACT

Electrical Installation Work provides full coverage for all current Level 2 Electrical Installation courses, suitable for college students and modern apprentices.

Electrical Installation Work covers both theory and practice for the trainee who wants to understand not only how, but why electrical installations are designed, installed and tested in particular ways. Brian Scaddan's approach encourages independent learning with self-assessment questions provided throughout.

Electrical Installation Work is well established as a leading text for City & Guilds courses 2260 Parts 1 and 2. The fourth edition includes a new section covering additional topics included in the 2351 course. It also provides the underpinning knowledge needed for a level 2 NVQ (C&G 2355). The new material includes major sections on safe electrical site working; inspection, testing and certification; diagnosis and repair of electrical faults.

The book has also been updated to meet the requirements of the latest issue of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS7671: 2001).

Brian Scaddan is a Chief Examiner, Leading Scheme Assessor and Honorary Member of City and Guilds. He has 22 years' experience in Further Education, and is now Director of Brian Scaddan Associates, Engineering Training Consultants.
