EEBADS

[DWCOCKBURN]

How do we achieve a maximum automatic disconnection of supply time not exceeding 0.4 of a second, during a fault of negligible impedance to earth?

 

[littlespark]

A fault of negligible impedance to earth is also known as a dead short to earth.

From ohms law, your very low resistance with a constant voltage gives an extremely high current.

The time graphs of whatever OCPD is in use as shown in the regs will mean an instantaneous trip. Well short of the 0.4s maximum.

And there is no longer EEBADS… it’s only ADS

Touch the neutral conductor.

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

I am trying to ascertain whether or not this forum has credibility, you may have quoted information to me that has been legally disclaimed by its' authors out of ignorance.
Which I can except.
Honesty, on the other hand, is a choice.

 

[DPG]

I could point you in the direction of a book published some years ago on earthing and bonding thar would probably confirm everything you are likely to say.

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

What happened when you touched the neutral conductor?

What happened when you touched the neutral conductor?

I think your original question was answered in post #2

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

What happened?
I am not interested in reading anything else that has been legally disclaimed by its' author.

Which 'author' are you referring to here?

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

Any author(s) who legally disclaim(s) what they have written.

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

Post #2 is derived from legally disclaimed sources.

 

[DPG]

Post #2 is derived from legally disclaimed sources.

OK then. What are you saying is incorrect about post #2? Please reply with a proper answer though.

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

Post #2 is based upon the electrical wiring regulations written after the turn of the century, all of which have been legally disclaimed by their authors.

Come on Dave, you must know how to give proper answers by now at your age.

What is incorrect about post 2? And remember, I'm not asking who wrote it or where some of the origins are.

Please read my words twice before answering.

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

If you are ignorant of the fact that JPEL/64 has been legally disclaiming what it has written, I can except that.

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

Touch the neutral conductor.

 

[DPG]

Touch the neutral conductor.

I see you still struggle with basic conversational skills Dave.

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

Line and neutral conductors are both live conductors, the response of the RCD will be exactly the same in either case.

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

Don't be rude and touch the neutral conductor.

 

[DPG]

Can't reach it

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

There goes your credibility.

 

[DPG]

There goes your credibility.

Be careful broaching the subject of credibility Dave.

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

Touch the conductor.

 

[DPG]

Bearing in mind you asked a question originally, what is your answer to it? Or do you not know?

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

Making sure all of your earthing and bonding conductors are of a csa that is large enough to divert the earth fault current back to the mass of the earth, fast enough for your chosen overcurrent protective device to work within the specified time.
Have you touched the neutral conductor yet?

 

[DPG]

Thanks. I thought it would take longer than that to get a borderline reasonable response from you to be honest.

I may celebrate with a cuppa and a biscuit.

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

I missed the end of Aryna because of you!

 

[littlespark]

I missed the point of this entire thread.


Any more incoherent trolling, and this thread is binned.

Signed, the author of #2

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

(Q) - What happened when you touched the neutral conductor?
(A) - Nothing.

Conclusion:
The theory of 'ADS' is a legally disclaimed 'myth'.

Binning this thread would confirm that this forum has no credibility at all.

 

[littlespark]

Binning the thread only confirms we don’t tolerate nonsense.

Where did “touching the neutral” come from? Wasn’t mentioned in the OP, which is from what #2 was referring to.

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

You got straight onto the subject of ADS, so I decided to skip straight to discrediting ADS.

I wasn't looking for an argument and ADS is just a myth, so why bother arguing about it?

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

Lives (as well as your credibility) are at stake, I am not going to talk any nonsense.

 

[DWCOCKBURN]

As I illuded to "if you were unaware that you have been spreading legally disclaimed 'propaganda'", I can except that.
But you have to wise up fast.

 

[littlespark]

There appears to be some history under a different username, so i am going to stop this thread for now.
