    Capacitor Short Circuit

    Possibly It all depends on your level of fault current and the protective device

    Oh no not again (tn-c-s)

    Our step voltage is a little less than that of our four legged friends

    PEFC

    Yes you should take into account the reactance of the armoring

    PEFC

    Its as easy as that? What about reactance of the armoring?

    RCD ZS

    What the maximum ZS for a circuit supplied via a 300 mA RCD, any ideas Cheers

    PEFC

    How do you calculate PEFC when using SWA, and using the armor as the CPC. Many thanksGuinness

    HELP! This is doing my head in!

    Busbar temps are limited to those in BS 159 and BS EN 60439-1, 526.4 terminations to the busbar BS 159 and BS EN 60439-1, these standards give recommendations on how 526.4 is to be met

    Is TNCS worse than TT earthing?

    You seem to be getting confused between met and pen ian Think you best re read. Best re read again. Well they best re write the regs, GN5 , energy networks association recommendation G12/3

    Is TNCS worse than TT earthing?

    Im referring to rodding the at the met not the pen, as to which sidewinder is also referring.

    Is TNCS worse than TT earthing?

    I disagree completely, people are showing a lack of understanding

    Cable Over Current Protection

    It all depends upon the pfc, if its high, you will require fused protection. I would agree with kme fused protection, unless 433.3.3 is applicable. Dont agree with using 433.3.1 as there is a risk of overload.

    Cable Over Current Protection

    The only reg applicable that i can see would be 433.3.1, is it possible for a 24 way board to be overloaded? and it still needs to be protected against fault current reg 434

    Cable Over Current Protection

    The problem would be on short circuit if you used a mcb you would have no short circuit discrimination, it would need to be fused.

    Short Circuit Peak

    You need to look at your protective device upstream of the db, now at a pfc of 16ka how fast will it disconnect, faster than the 10ms probably betwen 2 - 5 milliseconds, so no issues probably

    max Zs on a TT system for Nic eic

    So im informed, product standards restrict voltages to 50v or less, so any test where for what ever reason will exceed the 50v the meter wont test ---------- Post Auto-Merged at 22:05 ---------- Previous post was made at 21:58 ---------- Dave on a TT where RCD protection is used for Fault...

    max Zs on a TT system for Nic eic

    In most instances dave you will rely on your rcd for your TT fault protection

    max Zs on a TT system for Nic eic

    No its fact steptoe, you might get away with it on old meters but not new, think it may go in new GN3

    Exported earth

    In some instances its advisable, placing a rod in a suitable impedance will reduce the touch voltage on a broken pen to that below 50v if designed correctly ---------- Post Auto-Merged at 12:22 ---------- Previous post was made at 12:19 ---------- I agree ads, 542 .1.8 has nothing to do with...
