In a domestic situation I doubt a ring final would ever operate at a constant 32 amps. On an EICR I would judge the circuit on the particular installation, it's use and projected future loading and note accordingly as and where required.seriously though....your in a 5 bed house over 3 floors.
Max Zs for 32a ring is 1.37. 80% is 1.1
You record 1.20.
What exactly are you going to do about this ???
I’m going to do nothing.....record 1.20 on the EICR,
and carry on.
However if a circuit was subjected to a constant load of 32 amps and I measured the R1+R2 and added the Ze and came up with 1.2o ohms then I would be investigating further as the conductors at the higher operating temperature would have a higher resistance therefore the required disconnection time may not be met.
