Sample questions
01What should be checked first during visual inspection?
- AThe equipment casing
- BThe documentation
- CThe cable
- DThe plug
Why: The plug should be checked first as it's the connection point to the supply and often shows the first signs of problems.
02Which finding indicates a 13A plug should be failed during visual inspection?
- ACracks in the casing or burn marks around the pins
- BA flexible cable held firmly in place by the cord grip
- CA moulded-on plug body that has no visible fixing screws
- DA clearly printed BS 1363 approval mark on the casing
Why: Cracks and burn marks show mechanical damage and overheating, both of which make the plug unsafe; the other findings are signs of a sound, compliant plug.
03What should you look for when inspecting a flexible cable?
- AThe IP rating printed on the appliance
- BA valid calibration certificate for the cable
- CExternal damage, kinks and taped repairs
- DCorrect fuse rating inside the plug
Why: Cable inspection should look for external damage, kinks, unauthorised repairs, and signs of stress or wear.
