Given your other post about R2 testing and what looks like a bit of a untidy CU install and this about r1+r2 and Zs values I will be blunt and say i have concerns over your competence... Have you not got the OSG or Big Yellow Book? the values for respective circuits and MCB are in there... Every assessment Have ever been at or on by the schemes have involved questions about test results such as Zs values and RCD times, if you dont know the answer then you need to know where to find it. so maybe time to do some reading before your assessment this saturday. One the things that took me ages to get my head around in this trade was the need to be able to problem solve and process test results to understand them, measuring is one thing. interpretation is the true skill.Is 2.07 a satisfactory readinf for light lights r1+r2 and plus got a reading of 1.02 for zs on sockets.
I have done my reading and know that the max zs for 32 amp breaker is around 1.2 and continuity for lights is around 1.9 but wanted some advise on whether it would be acceptable.Given your other post about R2 testing and what looks like a bit of a untidy CU install and this about r1+r2 and Zs values I will be blunt and say i have concerns over your competence...

The ze is 0.39 and r1 +r2 is 0.37 for the ringWell ... you know the Ze, you have measured the R1 + R2 so you should then be able to compare the Zs
In the case of the ring obviously you will have the r1 + r2 !
The ze is 0.39 and r1 +r2 is 0.37 for the ring
When testing a RFC r1, r2 and rn are the end to end resistance measurements of the RFC conductors, R1+R2 are the resistance readings measured when carrying out the figure of 8 test, imo if you can't get the correct designations right your Assessor will give you plenty of grief.The ze is 0.39 and r1 +r2 is 0.37 for the ring
I have and they are quite a bit higher thats why i will go back and do my test again to double checkAs suggested have you compared your results with your tester with calculated results?
Your stubborn refusal to use the correct terms is strange?lights r1+r2
You can lead a horse to water, but it's up to the horse if he drinks it or not.Your stubborn refusal to use the correct terms is strange?
Are you using the "soft" test with your meter.I have and they are quite a bit higher thats why i will go back and do my test again to double check
NopeAre you using the "soft" test with your meter.
