• Submit Test Results: It is possible to send UK Forms test results to ElectricalOM using the right-click menu. If the selected certificate is not marked as completed, UK Forms will warn you, however, if you click on OK the results will be sent to ElectricalOM anyway. This option is available only for BS7671 certificates.

       


Each submission will create a new record on test results list of ElectricalOM's Circuit Edit module's Test tab. The important point here is to notice that Created column will show the date of the certificate, not the date they were submitted to ElectricalOM.


ElectricalOM will use the latest test result to generate warnings if a discrepancy is found.


  • Estimate Cable Lengths: ElectricalOM can estimate circuit lengths using UK Forms' certificate data. You can use the right-click menu and select Estimate cable lengths options to achieve this. This action will update the cable lengths of the associated ElectricalOM project to suit with the test results of the selected certificate. Again, ElectricalOM will display a warning pop-up window.


Below example shows a ring socket outlet circuit set as 25 metres long.. Test result for this circuit is submitted as 0.3ohms. This was previously marked as a warning, see above picture. 


Then we used estimate cable lengths option of UK Forms which updated ElectricalOM's data to suit. Now the cable length is 63.83 metres, and corresponding nearest impedance values are also updated. This action also cleared the warning.
