    TT Ze reading- loop high or loop no trip?

    When measuring Ze on a TT that's RCD protected which is more accurate? Getting 27.1 on high current but 563 on no trip.

    earth fault loop impedance

    Hello :) I'm confused about EFLI which I am guessing should be relatively straight-forward. I can't get my tired brain to figure out how to calculate the value for EFLI on system-side circuits? eg: what should the actual calculated value be for a 40A circuit, and how do I get that figure...

    Earth loop meter required

    Can someone help me find a particular type of earth loop meter that I used to use years ago. It was the type that had a earth wander lead and probe. You plug in the meter to a socket, then touch the probe to the casing of the fixed appliance, you get an ELI reading I'm no longer a part P...

    >2000 ohms on loop test?

    Hi guys, Was wondering if anyone could shed any light on why I would be getting >2000 ohms on my loop tests, on every circuit? I got .26 on the incoming reading, went to do the test on the cooker circuit and >2000, thought I'd try back at the consumer on the incoming and >2000 again, I'm using...

    Domestic socket loop test puzzle.

    Hi, I don't know if anyone can help with this. A customer called me out saying that a British Gas boiler service had highlighted a socket showing >2000 on the EFLI test. I went to look and got 1.12 on one side of the (two gang) socket and >2000 on the other. I assumed it was a dodgy socket and...

    Loop In/Out connections in light fitting

    I often come across bathroom lights or similar with the loop in/out connections brought into the light enclosure and connected using choc blocks (or in some cases just twisted and taped!). I rarely see heat resistant sleeving used, although I sometimes do. My question is, to be fully compliant...

    Earth Loop / Dimmer

    Had a strange one today, would appreciate folks take on it. I'm probably missing something obvious!! Installing some downlights via metal dimmer switch. Earth loop impedance was 50 ohms at last light!, at switch it was about 1.5 ohms. Dimmer fully up, voltage at light around 230 . Bypass...

    Very high earth loop readings

    Was out doing some defect repairs on a system with a few high earth loop readings. I had previously been on site and tested the circuits with the high readings. For one of the circuits I had a reading of 1.28 ohms for a C50 t/p mcb it was rather high. So the idea was to remove the mcb and...

    High earth loop impedance

    Hello all, I am studying to be an electrician but outside of the classroom I have little experience. A friend has bought a house and during the buying process had an eicr with unsatisfactory result. Reading the report it shows the ring and shower circuit to have high earth loop impedance. I...

    Iv been given the scenario: 6 circuit earth fault loop impedance values were recorded. Each circuit has type B cb. referring to the maximum values, show by calculation if these values are acceptable. so I can't do zs =ze+R1/R2 because they've not provided me with ze. doing some research it...

    Earth Loop too High

    Hi there Guys I am new to the UK and have just a quick question. When your earth loop reading I too high in the UK, can you proceed to do an earth/neutral bond before the consumer main switch or do you have to contact the applicable power utility company?
