It doesn't really matter as it isn't required by the IET on documents. All they have put down is that the Zs should be less than the values given in Appendix 2 O.S.G. and Appendix B GN3. So, in theory, that would be the considered 'maximum'.
it was the max. permitted value of Zs i was referring to. as you say, the max. figure IMO is the one given in brb. eg 1.44 for a 32A type B. Obviously, having a measured value less than the osg. corrected figure is what we should attain. the query was who puts which figure in the max permissible columm. from posts on this thread, most use the brb.Hi mate
If its for the sample EICs in bs7671 or gn3 your referring to then it should be the measured value at the time of test that you record as this is what it says in the notes accompanying the schedule of test results
if your talking about a schedule of test results that has two columns for Zs on it, then one will say the max100% bs7671 value and the second column is the measured Zs value which should be compared to the 80% values in OSG or GN3 which are the maximum measured values for comparing test results to and your measured value should be less than the 80% values which is the rule of thumb
at least this is what i was told and shown on courses i have just done inc 2391
which cert are you referring to the IEE version or another
