test instruments and test methods, as well as covering:
electricity, the law, standards and codes of practice;assessment of
general characteristics;protection against electric shock, thermal
effects, overcurrent, undervoltage and overvoltage;isolation and
switching;the common rules of equipment selection;switchgear,
protective devices and other equipment;wiring systems (including
the external influences on them and cable installation
methods);protective conductors, earthing and protective
bonding;supplies for safety services;the smaller installation,
and;specialised installations, such as outdoor lighting,
installations in churches, multi-occupancy blocks of flats.
These topics are addressed with pertinent regulation numbers,
and a useful appendix lists the relevant Standards. Background

a useful aid for designers, installers and verifiers of electrical
installations, students of the industry wishing to gain better
understanding of the many facets of electrical safety, and 'duty
holders' as defined by the Electricity at Work Regulations
