City & Guilds 2382-12 17th Edition Training course in Birmingham

City & Guilds 17th Edition 2382-12 Electrical Training Course

As a classroom only course, the 17th Edition training has no practical modules and, as such, is a theory only course. By incorporating the previous 17th Edition course, the 2382-12 contains training that combines aspects of the previous 17th Edition with the new sections set out in amendment 1. This creates a new course that allows learners to keep up with recent changes.

Here are the section additions set out in amendment 1 that are now included in the 17th Edition course Birmingham:

New Section 444 - Measures against Electromagnetic disturbances: Any equipment such as lifts, transformers and fluorescent lighting can cause electromagnetic disturbances and this interference can damage IT equipment, components and circuits.  This new section suggests recommendations to avoid and reduce electromagnetic disturbances.

New Section 534 - Devices for protection against overvoltage (surge protection): Transient voltages can have a peak value of 6kV. Lightning strike and electrical switching can give transient overvoltages to installations. This new section requires the installation of SPDs to limit transient overvoltages and divert surge current away from sensitive equipment.

New Section 710 - Medical locations: Strict measures are needed to ensure the safety of medical patients especially where they are likely to be subjected to the application of medical electrical equipment.

New Section 729 - Operating or maintenance gangways: Regulation 15 of the Electricity at Work Act requires working space, access and lighting to be correctly and adequately provided where work is being carried out. This new section includes requirements for gangway width, access, emergency access and emergency evacuation.

Appendix Six - Model forms for certification and reporting: Periodic inspection and testing is required because electrical installations can deteriorate over time. As legislation states that electrical installations should be maintained, periodic inspection and testing of installations is required.
