Unlike a ring socket circuit, the wiring does not return to the CU\/DB from this final point.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guidance on cables and accessories used on both ring and radial socket circuits can be found in the 18<sup>th<\/sup> Edition Wiring Regulations <strong>BS7671:2018+A2:2022 Appendix 15<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a id=\"post-824-_Hlk163032543\"><\/a> Radial socket circuits wired in 2.5mm Live, 1.5mm CPC. PVC\/PVC cable should be protected by a 20A overcurrent device \u2018circuit breaker\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Radial socket circuits wired in 4.0mm Live, 1.5mm CPC. PVC\/PVC cable should be protected by a 30A or 32A overcurrent device \u2018circuit breaker\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional protection using a 30mA RCD should be used especially in domestic installations through either an RCBO or RCCB. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Testing <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you start, please <strong>ensure that all safe isolation procedures are in place<\/strong> and that you have isolated the CU\/DB. This is done by switching off and placing a lock and label on the main switch for the CU\/DB. Using an approved voltage indicator \u2018see GS38\u2019 and a proving unit, prove that your voltage testers are working correctly. Then on the load side of the main switch test between N \u2013 L, N \u2013 E and E \u2013 L, they should all show 0v. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Continuity of Protective Conductors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the CU\/DB connect the Line and the CPC of the radial circuit together. Then at each socket-outlet using a continuity tester set to ohms measure <strong>across Line (R1) and Earth (R2)<\/strong>. Ensure that you have nulled your test leads if needed and use a plug-in lead or adapter so there is no need to remove the socket-outlet fronts as you go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should notice that the resistance reading increases as you work your way from the CU\/DB to the final point. Record the highest reading and <strong>this will be the R1+R2 reading for this circuit<\/strong>. This reading should be recorded as it is used on the schedule of test results on any certificates used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  To confirm that your reading is accurate you can compare your resistance reading to the values given in Guidance Note 3 table B1 which shows the values of resistance per metre of each available conductor size.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  For example, a 2.5\/1.5 cable has a resistance of 19.51m<a id=\"post-824-_Hlk163035494\"><\/a>\u2126 per metre. If we know that our circuit is 9.5 metres long, we can calculate what the value should be by\u2026\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>(19.51 x 9.5)\/1000 = 0.19 \u2126<\/strong>. You now have a benchmark to compare your measured value against and a higher reading could indicate a possible loose connection along the circuit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Polarity <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is to ensure that the<strong> Line, Neutral and CPC conductors have been connected correctly<\/strong> at the rear of each socket-outlet. Similar to the previous test but this time at the CU\/DB connect the Line and Neutral conductors together and measure across Line and Neutral at each socket-outlet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  This reading again should rise as you work your way from the CU\/DB. There is no need to record this reading as we are only checking that the connections at the are the correct way round.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> If when completing this test and the previous Line \u2013 Earth test you fail to get a reading when checking both L \u2013 E and L \u2013 N at any socket-outlet this will indicate a cross connection at the rear of the socket and should be investigated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  By correctly performing both tests we have confirmed the continuity of the protective conductor and the correct polarity at each socket-outlet on the radial circuit. It\u2019s also worth noting that the R1+R2 reading forms part of the overall earth fault loop impedance value \u2018Zs\u2019 for this circuit as Zs = Ze+(R1+R2). \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Zs value when measured as part of your live testing should be <strong>compared to 80% of the values given in BS7671 table 41.3<\/strong> to ensure that the overcurrent protective device will meet its maximum disconnection time under fault conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, if an RCD is present that should be tested as part of the live testing to ensure that it meets its maximum disconnection time of 300 milliseconds at 1 x its rating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  Hope that you found this helpful for more information and online training see\u2026\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>City &amp; Guilds 18<sup>th<\/sup> Edition online course with at home exam\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-regs.co.uk\/18thEdition\/onlinecourse.php\">https:\/\/the-regs.co.uk\/18thEdition\/onlinecourse.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Inspection and testing City &amp; Guilds 2391-52\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/2391pass.co.uk\/inspectionandtesting\/2391course.php\">https:\/\/2391pass.co.uk\/inspectionandtesting\/2391course.php<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this post we are going to cover the often-misunderstood requirements for testing radial single-phase standard socket-outlet circuits here in the UK.
