There is no requirement for Zs to be of a value to operate the OCPD within the required time in the event of a fault to earth. The preferred means of earth fault protection on a TT is an RCD (411.5.2) and the maximum Zs value will be in accordance with table 41.5. (411.5.3).
The maximum value whether you like it or not is 1667 ohms for a 30ma RCD and that is the value to be recorded on a cert for a 30ma RCD.

No you didn't.
By the way, have you found that reg number for the other thread yet?

No I haven't.

In a TT an RCD would be used for fault protection so would therefor be the OCPD. As such the maximum Zs for the rated RCD would come into effect.

As I said - this is what I said.....

An RCD isn't an overcurrent protective device.
 
I just voted for the Brexit Party so removed the EN.
You would also need to use a different number then as 61009 is still the harmonised Standard. And I voted to leave the EU in the referendum too.
 
Hi just wondering what people are noting as there max permitted zs reading on test results sheet for TT systems? 200ohms or 1667ohms?
In Malta we have an upper limit of 50Ω (RA). TT is by and large the most commonly found earthing system here. It is that low because there is a high probability of it increasing as most of the ground is some form of limestone.
