    Max Zs values at different ambient test temperatures

    Hi guys, I'm currently revising for my 2391 and kind of confused on the temperature factors for the Zs values The BBB give Max Zs which are 100% values with a max operating temperature of 70c. The OSG and GN3 give values to 80% which are when tested at ambient temp of 10c according to page 146...

    UK Why don't values in the OSG table I1 match those calculated?

    Hi everyone. I am really puzzled by this, but I suppose there is an obvious answer / reason! Anyway, Table I1 in the OSG says the mΩ/m value for copper with a CSA of 25mm2 is 0.727. However, when I calculate the R value using the formula: I get 0.688... Does anyone know why the values aren't...

    Zs Values for BUSSMANN - ED355 FUSE BS88 355A 415VAC

    Hi All, Can anyone help with calculating a Zs value for the fuse described in the title. The fuse sizes in Fig 3A3(c) of the 18th edition wiring regulations do not have a 355A fuse and jumps from 315A fuse to 400A fuse. I've searched and searched but struggling to find an answer. Any help is...

    Do I use zdb or ze when calculating zs values on am2?

    Got my am2 coming up on Tuesday and I know I have to calculate my Zs readings Maybe I’m overthinking this but am not sure if I need to use the Ze (which is apparently given to me) or my measured Zdb from my three phase panel in the equation. I have heard different answers, would be great if...

    UK Max zs Values in the on-suite guide

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on the max zs values in the OSG, they don’t seem to follow the 1.25 divisor stated in the note on page 126 For example BS 60898 circuit breaker, max zs at 70 degrees is 7.28, following the formula this should be 5.82 at 10 degrees which is...

    Vw electrical vacuum control valve n75 - Ohm values

    What is a correct Ohms value for n75 valve on vw 1.9 TDI, 96kw engine? I have like 16 Ohms but if I am not misunderstood on spec it says more than that. Does it mean my valve has malfunction? I checked almost everything else but my car still has delayed boost.

    Z values for fuse to EN60269

    Anyone know if there is a specific list of Z(s) values for a fuse to EN60269? I've just used 5s values for an 88:2 as I figured they'd be pretty close but wondered if there is an actual table anywhere. No biggee. Alternatively, has 60269 been replaced by another standard anyway?

    Strange voltage and power factor values and installation issues

    Hi, We have installed 2 meters (each meter is a 3 phase meter) for sub-metering in a residential house (1 phase installation per apartment). One of the meters, after correcting installation, works fine now. The other one, in my opinion measures strange voltage values. We had since the begining...

    Maximum ZS values GN3

    On page 142 of the latest Guidance Note 3 it list a 16 amp type B max ZS as 2.15, however i think 2.2 is the real value, it also states that at 16 amp type C is 1.1 ohms which is correct, but a type B should be double the value of a type C. anyone else have a view on this?

    Max zs values

    Hey all im just trying to learn max zs values from a NICEIC chart i have, now learning these values isnt a problem but the sections reffering to bs3036 fuses and type D mcbs both have two lists of readings - one each for 0.4s and 5s trip times - where as the sections for type B and C only have...
