What you get

Calculation slips cost marks in a written assessment and confidence on site. This workbook gives you graded practice on the calculations used in initial verification and periodic inspection, with the formula, the numbers and the result shown for every answer.

  • 200 questions in 14 sections, graded Easy, Core and Challenging
  • Continuity of protective conductors, ring final circuits, earth fault loop impedance and temperature adjustment
  • Prospective fault current, insulation resistance and RCD test results
  • Voltage drop, design current and cable selection, the adiabatic equation, TT earth electrodes, maximum demand and power factor
  • All the data each question needs is given in the question, so you practise the method rather than looking up tables
  • Every numerical answer was calculated by computer and checked by a second, independent calculation
  • A short method page at the start of each section and a two-page formula sheet
  • A squared working box with every question

For use with BS 7671:2018+A4:2026

You do not need BS 7671 to work the questions: all the data each question needs is given in it. Conductor resistances, voltage-drop figures and some cable current ratings used in the questions are typical published values for copper cable, given so the questions can be worked; always check against your own copy of BS 7671 and the manufacturer’s data. No figure in the book may be used for design, installation or certification.
