Love your answer. As always detailed and to the point. Sometimes the simplest solutions are overcomplicated. Next time I'll pay closer attention to minuscule variations in reading or simply disconnect at the clamp to determine the right cable. Many thanks
Hi guys.
Just reflecting on the reasons for disconnecting of main protecting bonding conductor when carrying out continuity. As far as I understand it is to avoid parallel earth paths and effects on test readings. However in my dwelling, as I pick any conductor from MET and measure using Test...
I'm glad so many people willing to help here 🙂
Just elaborating further shouldn't the formula for Zs be taking the form Zs=Ze+(R1+R2)-R2p where R2p- resistance of parallel paths to means of the earth. Since introducing parallel paths in real word reduces the measured value of Zs. Logically I'm...
Thank you for your rapid responses. I believe that I need a greater understanding of the fault loop path concept because from what I read I assumed we measure the fastest path via a circuit protective conductor to MET, earthing conductor, for a TN system the metallic return path, the path...
Hi all.
I hope someone can help.
I'm studying for Inspection and testing qualifications and stuck on understanding measured values of earth fault loop impedance. I hope I correctly interpret the formula Zs=Ze+(R1+R2).
Here is the value I measure at the origin between line and pe I read 0.24...
