    How to calculate the resistance of steel armour under fault conditions 70 oC for CSA 95mm2

    Hi All, hope your all well. I was hoping if I can please get some advice in regards to SWA. In Particular using SWA as CPC. Cable size 95mm2 I have a table for SWA which shows various information, in the last two columns it shows the "resistance of steel armour under fault conditions at 70...

    How do i calculate missing resistance readings in a parallel circuit using R1 and Rt

    Hi I am a current student studying to become an electrician and a question has thrown me. I'm wondering if someone could help, there is a question on one of my home work books. "complete the following table assuming the resistors are connected in parallel?" the example I will give is R1 is 120...

    How do i calculate the total resistance in a series-parallel circuit?

    Hey, I'm an electrical engineer in training and i was wondering how you could calculate the total resistance in a series-parallel circuit? I attached a picture of what it looks like. If it's to any help resistor 1 is 2, r2 is 3, r3 is 4, r4 is 5 and r5 is 6 Ohm. Thanks for any help

    Can I calculate how fast an RCD should trip?

    Hi all. Been bugging me. I think there is a way to calculate how fast a particularly rated RCD should trip (rather than measuring) but I can't remember how to do it ? e. g. If I was designing an SWA submain fed from a TT earthed installation and I needed to install say a 300mA TD RCD to...

    R1+R2 and Zs calculate acceptable?

    hello 1.is that acceptable if i do only Zs test last point of the lighting circuit and on scoket! instead of measure R1+R2? i can caluclate R1+R2 ACTUALY! ZS-ZE=R1+R2 is it acceptable to write the value on certificate? 2. as i know the maximum Zs by rcd (rcbo)protected circuit 1667 ohm...

    Measure or calculate your Zs?

    Hi again! Which value is best to record in a certificate or report, a max measured or a calculated Zs? I know Sparkies who do it both ways, but personally I take measured values at all the points of utilization to find the highest, then I calculate Ze+(my highest R1+R2) for the circuit and...

    Calculate this...Part II some pics of the main cut-out and fuses

    Yeh so thought I would check the main fuses and still can't tell what rating they are. I did contact the man from the DNO who said no hurry the next few months will do. @Leesparkykent he did say there are no penalty charges right now but come April there will be. We spoke with the energy...

    Calculate this. Just got this letter emailed to me...

    Errr I am going to contact the guy in the letter. This is not a new supply they have been supplying the place for 30 years to my knowledge. But do they really expect me to calculate the load on maybe 70 DBs and then apply diversity to 66 different businesses??? Bit of a tall order unless I am...

    How to calculate the tabulated current (It) for circuits with multiple Reference Methods (A and B)?

    I am trying to select a suitable conductor size from Fig 4D1A of the BS 7671 Book, and am encountering a problem because the circuit does not conform to one Reference Method. The circuit conductors leave the distribution board in wall mounted steel trunking, then run through some steel conduit...

    Parallel resistors

    I'm getting conflicting information regarding parallel resistors. I originally thought the below was how to calculate total parallel resistance 1. Rt= 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3 2. 1/Rt However in my pre exam workbook it says to 1. Calculate Rt as 1. above 2. Find the lowest common denominator 3...

    Can you calculate ring final conductors if you have a measured R1 + R2?

    Hello there everyone, I've dead tested some ring mains on a job recently but unfortunately I didn't do my measured end to ends. The circuits only have two spurs on each. I have my R1 + R2's, it was wired in 4mm T and E so the earth is obviously 1.5mm. For example, if one circuit measured...
