General Information
Course Structure and Learning Outcomes
PEB1 is for operatives involved in the repositioning, altering or extending the Protective Equipotential Bonding (PEB) conductor when changing the position of gas meters within a dwelling and associated outbuildings and locations. Formally known as the Main Equipotential Bond (MEB).
Be trained and assessed on:
- Legislation and Standards
- Understanding electrical installations
- Repositioning, alteration and extension of PEB
- Safe Isolation and working methods
- Correct material selection and safe use
- Testing
PEB is of a limited scope nature; where doubt or confusion arises on site regarding the electrical installation, advice should be sought from a competent electrical engineer prior to carrying out any work.
Prerequisites and Assessment
Candidates must possess as a minimum valid CCN1, CMA1, CESP1 or CCLP1 (PD) or any of the City & Guilds N/SVQ6012 qualifications with MET1. A knowledge of basic electrical principles would be an advantage but not essential.
