    Generator Earth Testing

    So the Ze with earth electrode disconnected is about 7.6 ohms and then zs with it connected, i would expect a similar value to the ze reading, however lets say i have a zs value of  say 6 ohms, then surely the pfc = U0/zs = 650v / 6 = 108A which would not be enough to clear trip the MCCB or blow...

    I realise i am going to regret this and look a little bit of an idiot, but if the gen star point is bonded to true earth, then that is a TNS ? it then has ONLY 2 50mm^"2 LINE and NEUTRAL conductors to the outbuilding, where the outbuilding is only bonded to ground via 4 earth electrode rods. I...

    Generator Earth Testing

    the generator is bonded to true earth by two 16mm electrodes and the earth electrode is connected to the neutral star point so the source is a TNS. it is just how to go about proving that sufficient current will flow to cause a large enough current to take out the generator fuses or MCCB...

    Generator Earth Testing

    This a rail installation, and i know that rail are exempt from BS7671, however it will be classified as a static unit and will not go into traffic, so the installation is the same as connecting to a mobile static unit and the public will be using the facility so it comes under BS7671 from my...
