    If the Ze on a TNS supply is measured at 0.8ohms, is this still acceptable? Technically it is bang on the maximum. DB is 100A Main Switch with 30mA RCBO's on all circuits.

    Zs ohms with maximum rcd ohms

    If the maximum zs is okay up until 1667 ohms protected by a rcd why do we care about maximum disconnection times for the mcbs e.g why do we test and it's important to meet 1.37 or 1.1 zs on a 32 amp circuit
