Hi i have an interview soon as a T/O in E&P. I have a while to prepare for the interview i am just wondering if anyone has any idea what i will be asked or would need to expect or take with me. All help and advice is really appreciated.

Thanks

E&P stands for "Electrical and Plant".

The activity covers everything from station lighting and PA systems to points heating, train heating supply points and depot electrical services - in fact pretty much everything that runs electrically up to 650V.

You will definitely need to know the latest IEEE Regs and be able to do power calculations, voltage drop calculations, and calculate cable sizes as an absolute minimum.

Not to mention the basics like Ohms law and resistance testing!

As a new TO would you be expected to know all that detail from the start?
When I started as a TO in Civils the required knowledge came through experience and day release at college
