Howdi,
Changed a d/b on fri and carried out a full test on a top floor flat,3 storeys high. Most of my readings were pretty bang on appart from the p.f.c which was 7.1 ka my ze was 0.10.Doing the formula it should have been around 2.3 ka as if im correct pfc= 230/ze . Ichecked the reading 3 times and still 7.1 ka was the reading. My gaffer has phoned me today to tell me that this is an unacceptable result.without trying to find the main earth in the field outside how would i be able to get a better reading????? the system was tncs with a bs1361 type 2 which has a rated short circuit capacity of 33ka.yeah 7.1 is a bit high but surely its well within the capacity of the bs 1361????
