That if a cable had a resistance of 76,666ohms it would trip a 30ma RCD

230 / 0.003 = 76,666 ????

 
30mA is 0.03A

and yes, IR of 7666 ohms would trip a 30mA RCD. or a L-E loop of 7666.

however, to calc max Zs including touch voltage, calculation uses 50v, not 230v

Sip over touch voltage - it is a basic requirement to know this!!!!!!!!!
