    Zs testing

    Hi I have just tested the Zs on my ring final circuit... i got the readings 0.25, 0.32, 0.47 and 0.52 there are more but the readings were basically between 0.25 and 0.52 Ze is 0.11 and r1+r2 is 0.35 i get the same readings either at the front or the back of the socket so with the test...

    excessive earth loop impedance on final circuit

    Hi. This seems like a newbie question but please help. Received the test results with an 'excessive earth loop impedance' on one final circuit. Circuit originates with a 32A MCB and serves 10 socket points. Wiring is 2x2.5mm live, 2x2.5mm cpc. Max Zs = 0.72 Ohm. r1 (line) = 1.68, rn (neutral) =...

    Pir sensors for flood lights, parallel wiring 2 sensors to one load

    Hi all, Is it possible to wire two PIR sensors in parallel in order to give two beams of coverage with just one flood light as the load. Have you done it? I am concerned that if one sensor activates, 230v would get onto the output of the other without the other having been activated. I have...
