    UK Exceeding the max Ze in this situation still be considered to comply?

    If the max Ze for Tncs is 0.35 but you had a 1361 60amp fused isolator before the c.u with the 1361 having a max Zs of 0.56 (from the 80% chart) if the recorded reading at the c.u was let’s say 0.47 ohms would that now be considered to comply? i can’t see why it wouldn’t.

If it is safe then I would not suggest to a client they must have a...
