OK, so he is 16 and only been with us 8 weeks.
His task was to put a 13A plug onto my blue extension lead. He was given
both the plug and the extension lead and told not to put the plug top on
until I has inspected his wiring.

Did he

1. Fit the plug to the extension lead correctly and leave the plug top
off for inspection

2. Fit the plug to the extension incorrectly and leave the plug top off
for inspect.

3. Have some sort of brain seizure and fit the plug top to a roll of
1.5mm white 3 core flex that he found in the van AND fit the plug top so
that his wiring could not be inspected.

I'll vote for 3.

This lad is a potential success story. Not only did he assess your old
extension as unfit, he used initiative to solve the problem.
Correctly judging the 1.5mm 3 core to be a suitable replacement, he had
the confidence in his workmanship to fit the plug top.

Lacking the appropriate, unsupplied outlet socket he wisely did not
unwind and cut the cable leaving this decision to his supervisor.

Was he given suitable instruction on this obscure task - or did you
arrogantly assume that because you could do it at his age then he should?

It isnt an obscure task.

- or did you arrogantly assume that because

He was told to leave the plug top off it would
be easy to check if he had wired it correctly.

Of course he is.

I would not consider fitting a plug to be an obscure task for an
electrical apprentice, even a first year one. What is obscure is that he
did not fit the plug to the extension lead that he was given but went to
the van and fitted the plug to a roll of flex.

And yes I took the **** out of him at the wholesalers when he got stuck

What is that quote, lesson one listen as well as you hear, or in this case
look and read as well as you see.

There is unfortunate a problem and maybe its always been this way, with
people actually having selective memory of the short term kind. I think this
is why repeat while under supervision is a great thing. It can teach you to
actually understand the words and also by asking questions the logic of the
decisions made that result in the task being completed successfully.
IE if you had given him a knackered old extension to fix with an obvious
busted plug, Look at the rest for wire or other damage before wasting your
time fitting a new plug, plugging it in and finding the wire is half cut
through.

Your instructions must have been unclear to him. This isn't necessarily
your fault. However, a good method is to make the learner speak the
instructions back to you. You check for real understanding. So that he
doesn't think you're babying him say, "OK, now just in case that wasn't
clear, tell me exactly what you have to do, in your own words."

As I'm sure you know teenage often have surprising gaps in their
knowledge and in the very way they their perception works. You are
extremely lucky because you have the rare pleasure of guiding them,
helping them, and generally reconstructing their minds so they become
useful human beings. Enjoy!

I remember things were ominously quiet one morning when the kids were
small. There was a bang, and the whole house went quiet. It turned out
that the two older boys had decided to wire up a plug. Not having any
idea at all how to do it, they stripped 3 or 4 inches of insulation off
each of the wires and wrapped them round all three plug terminals.
Fortunately, they jammed the top on without leaving any strands of wire
outside the plug, so no children were harmed in this experiment.

Possibly, this was my fault for not showing them exactly how to do it,
but they were only 4 or 5 at the time.

OK, so he is 16 and only been with us 8 weeks.
His task was to put a 13A plug onto my blue extension lead. He was
given both the plug and the extension lead and told not to put the
plug top on until I has inspected his wiring.

Did he

1. Fit the plug to the extension lead correctly and leave the plug top
off for inspection

2. Fit the plug to the extension incorrectly and leave the plug top
off for inspect.

3. Have some sort of brain seizure and fit the plug top to a roll of
1.5mm white 3 core flex that he found in the van AND fit the plug top
so that his wiring could not be inspected.

Does the 1.5mm refer to the overall diameter of the flex, the diameter
of each core including insulation, or the diameter of each core
excluding insulation.


CSA of the copper of each core (like normal).
