Discuss does anyone could help,high Zs value in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

Can you read? If so, read my posts again. What I am trying to say is that you need a common denominator to rule out a fault in the testers (not that this would totally rule this out), but if I were you I would try it.
 
Just read this thread and having had a think about the current path am wondering if the main switch might have a high resistance contact in it. Could explain the uniformly high direct Zs readings you're getting. If you've got a spare, try swapping the main isolator and retest. Also if you have an isolator fitted after the meter but before the CU this is also a possible fault location.

Just have a think about where those electrons are flowing and elliminate every switch and union one by one. You'll get it!

HI Benny!!!that is the point!!!Thanks a lot,Today I have done the test
again as You and other guy suggest to get do Zs at Cu and there is a problem I got the new make of Cu I have not use before,but when I measured at the bass bar one Rcd showing 0,53 other 0,64 ohm at Ze=0,04.
Yes I am going to do the test once more at Main Isolator and see,unless now I know what is the problem.Thanx a lot mate,very helpfull!great job!
 
I'd carry out a zs test at the main switch at the DB, then on the MCB's to see if the RCD's or MCB's are giving any additional impedance.






huh?
sorry mate just notice I have post a wrong message to You!
But thank You very much for an advise,I did the test as You sed and You are right the problem is with the rsd,s or with the main isolator,i will have to do just another test at the isolator on its own.But I got the answer,where is the problem,thank's a lot mate!!
