  During my summer apprenticeships, I gained hands-on experience in electrical testing, with a focus on fault finding and phase testing. I performed I/O point-to-point tests using a multimeter to verify wire connections, ensuring that all components were functioning as intended. This meticulous approach allowed me to quickly identify and rectify any faults that arose during the testing phase. As part of my responsibilities, I also conducted phase testing on electrical cabinets to ensure proper wiring and safe operation. I measured voltages between the three phases (L1, L2, and L3) of the mains supply in the UK, which typically have a voltage of 400 volts each (phase-to-phase). I also measured the voltage between each phase (L1, L2, and L3) and the neutral (N) of the incoming mains supply, which is typically 230 volts (phase-to-neutral). These tests were crucial in verifying that the voltage levels were within the expected range and that there were no imbalances between phases, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the electrical system. In addition, I utilized my fault finding skills to troubleshoot any issues that arose during testing. I carefully examined the electrical connections, components, and wiring against the electrical drawings and specifications to identify and rectify any faults efficiently and effectively. I also simulated inputs using a switchboard to ensure correct wiring and performance of the system. Overall, my experience in fault finding and phase testing during my summer apprenticeships allowed me to develop a keen eye for detail and a thorough understanding of electrical systems. I was able to efficiently identify and rectify faults, ensuring the reliable and safe operation of electrical cabinets and systems. Show less

  During my summer apprenticeships, I applied my electrical and mechanical engineering skills in real-world scenarios. One key responsibility was panel modification, involving cutting and shaping panels for air conditioner units, fan units, and filter units using power tools like jigsaws, drills, grinders, and angle grinders. I also used layered masking tape for improved accuracy. Panel wiring was another crucial task, involving measuring, cutting, stripping, and crimping wires of varying diameters, and double-checking connections for accuracy and safety using multimeters. I played a key role in fault finding, using critical thinking skills to troubleshoot issues during testing and performing I/O point-to-point tests with a multimeter to identify and rectify faults. I was also responsible for accurate cutting of trunking and installation of din-rails using special tools, ensuring proper fitment and alignment. Once din-rails were installed, I connected electronic components, printed cable identification labels, and used a heat gun for a tidy finish. Through my apprenticeships, I honed my skills in using power tools, following electrical drawings and specifications, performing safety checks, and fault finding. My attention to detail, precision, and commitment to safety allowed me to complete tasks with accuracy, meeting specifications and standards. These experiences provided valuable hands-on experience in panel construction, panel wiring, and fault finding of electrical panels Show less
