    Main bonding value

    Hi all, just took main protective bond (10 mm) to water pipe which is of the old lead type. Main bond length is about 4 meters. Cross bonded to rads and sink(utility sink) Then did R2(using 2.5mm) to pipes under the kitch sink. Reading was 0.10 ohms. regs say max allowed value is...

    think ive just stuffed my am2

    On the m.i.c.c cable the 3 phase from the board the resistance between each phase is about 88 mega ohms so think ill get marked dorwn for that also the in the board the conducters are about an inch short of the breaker the only thing im pleased with is the conduit oh well got another 2 days of...

    r2 testing

    Please forgive my lack of knowledge on this subject.Normally when i have done pir tests i have used the r1+r2 method . To obtain the Zs you obviously use the formula Ze +(r1 +r2 )=Zs example Ze =0.02 r1+r2=0.46 therefore Zs=0.48 I have just been using the R2 method...

    Earth Fault

    I have recently fitted some lights in an attic and when I came to testing found the cpc showing 60 volts. I switched each mcb off in turn and the fault dissapeared when I turned off the downstairs lighting mcb. I am going back this weekend to sort the problem out so will start with an IR test...

    Earth fault Loop Impedance Question

    Hi All, Q: If an earth fault loop impedance instrument records a valve of 0.55Ω at 20°c, what is the corrected valve ( Using the rule of thumb method ) to allow for conductor maximum operating temperature? Any replies will be appreciated.

    R1 and R2 Maximum value

    Am I right in thinking that for any ring circuit the maximum value that r1+r2 can be is 1/2 the loop reading on the phase + 1/2 the loop reading for the cpc ( measured at the CU ) Or has my maths let be down?

    High Ze Value on TNS

    Hi all, Could someone please advise me what the standard procedure would be if you were to get a high Ze reading of 8 Ohms. It was a TNS earthing arrangement. Main earth was upgraded to 16mm, gas and water both verified at 10mm. Im figuring that i will have to liase with the electrical...

    Earth rod value ??

    I tested a TT system today earth rod impedance was 1467 ohms, I say thats a pass ie, less than 1667 ohms, the QS at work says that it's a fail, it must be less than 200ohms......who's right ??? and why ??:confused:

    RCBO's

    I have a question, When testing a circuit protected by an RCBO, lets say a type B, in the max permissible column do you put the value from the Regs for the breaker type or 1666 Ohms? Rang the NIC Tech line and NAPIT's and they both say different. It's just that if you put the value from the...
