Scolmore Group Donate Mobile Test Boards To SELECT

Construction News Image
Scolmore Group has donated six new mobile test boards to the training department of trade body, SELECT.

Scolmore Group's Regional Sales Manager Shaun Harrison dropped into The Walled Garden to deliver the new rigs, which will be used in-house and at courses around Scotland.

The boards were made live by SELECT Technical Adviser Bruce Findlay, who was also on hand to run through the technology with Training Development Adviser Stuart McKelvie.

Bruce said: "We saw similar boards during an Electrotechnical Committee visit to the Sangamo facility in Gourock earlier this year, where they were being used to show off Scolmore products.

"We were so impressed we asked if something similar could be produced to enhance our training experience and provide a more portable solution for our teams and Scolmore were only too happy to oblige.

"The results are fantastic – the rigs' mobility and compliance with the latest version of BS 7671 means they will now be used across Scotland during our initial verification and periodic inspection and testing training courses."

Shaun said: "We are delighted to be able to continue our ongoing partnership with SELECT by donating these six test rigs, which have been specifically designed and built with premium Scolmore Group products."

As well as an Elucian consumer unit, each of the high integrity boards is fitted with a back board that slides in and out for easy wiring access. Each board also has:

• 2-gang double pole 13A socket-outlets 

• 45A cooker outlet plate

• 45A DP SW+13A DP SW socket and neons

• 1-gang D/P 20A water heater switch with neon

• 20A Flex outlet plate

• 1-gang 2-way 10A plate switch

• Ceiling rose

• 1-GANG and 2-gang 35MM deep spring action fast fit dry lining box.

The consumer unit has also been left with spare ways to populate with AFDDs and RCBOs in the future.

Jenny Cryans, Training Manager at SELECT, said: "We are extremely grateful to Scolmore Group for this generous donation, which will help us continue to deliver our training courses using the latest high-quality equipment. Along with Shaun, we would like to thank Alex Seath and Ian Wright at Scolmore Group for their ongoing cooperation."
