Appendix 4 in the regs has tables for Current-Carrying Capacity and Voltage drop.
I've used these many times with no problems, but i've never had to calculate a cable higher than 25mm.
when you look at cables 25mm and higher you see three values for mV/A/m (r, x, & z).
Using the calulation...

Wondered if it would be of use to have a formula and calculation aid section, ie fill in the blanks and get the answeer type thing. :) Dont know how difficult it would be to do :o
Any opinions?
Hi all,
How do I work out the length of a circuit?
I have these figures
R1+R2 = 0.40
The circuit is wired in 2.5mm/1.5mm T&E
I take it I need to know the resistance of the T&E (where do I find this?)
Could someone give me the formula or point me in the right direction
Thank you.
Could anyone just confirm my results for adiquate earthing size and calculation using the adiabatic equation...
My test was on a ring main circuit wired in 2.5/1.5 pvc..
My supply voltage is 247v
My Impedance is 0.38 ohms.
The circuit is supplied via a RCBO 32a C type
My results suggest that...
Evening guys
When calculting ZS u us the formula ze + r1 + r2
So i have 0.18+0.60+1.00 = 1.78
But i also have my r1+r2 result which is 0.40
0.18+0.40 = 0.58
so which 1 do i use then?
Cheers guys. :)
