calculating Zs with only R2 reading

ok so what is the lenght of the R1?
even the op who did the pir dont know this !

plus he asked can you do ZS with R2 and ZE.................the answer is no cos we dont have R1

Widdler you rightly say you could work out the resistance of R1 if we knew the lenght.......but we dont

some of us can use one of these

your all mates so you can stick together and all be wrong if you like , it wont channge matters
you are not able to calc ZS with out R1 , you cant calc R1 without the lenght , the lenght was not measure
i would like to see you accuratly measure the line condutor of the lighting circuit , wow you would;nt look daft

First things first :mad::mad::mad:

These guys are all too ugly to be my mates :cool:

Secondly,

The OP asked..

is it possible to calculate zs by only using r2 + ze reading??

Not..

is it possible to calculate zs by only using r2 + ze reading, oh and I haven't bothered working out the length.

We've advised him as necessary. If the Line conductors exact length & CSA, along with the CPC's exact length and CSA can be verified then it can be done!!!

The value for R2 may well be influenced by parallel paths leading to an estimated circuit length far lower than in reality. This, in turn, could lead to deeming a circuit compliant with regards meeting a required disconnection time when it may not ....

you did not say if the line conductor was same lenght etc though, and i doubt it would be was all i am saying ,
ps
i dont drink milk !!
 
i cant see where the op , said he did not have lenght , just re read the whole thread, are you changing the goal posts now?
