got my 400ms and 40ms all mixed up and started to question everything!...my mistake..sorry all...think il dye my hair blond tomorrow!!!!!!!!! :)
 
Very interesting banter

To to clarify my earlier post the 7.67 next the rule of thumb applied to ut so max Zs would be 6.136
 
If it's an NICEIC certificate, or one that asks for the maximum permitted by BS7671, then you would put in the unadjusted figures quoted in BS7671.
I believe ELECSA or perhaps NAPIT certificates, allow either the values in BS7671 or the adjusted values.
Of course the IET Certificates don't require this value.
 
Tsk Tsk Dylan, you have upset the Zs brigade by asking them a question that they think you should know the answer to.

If ever you need to be reminded how complicated these things like Zs, Ze, R1+R2, trip times and RCDs etc are, just have a look through the forums and see the amount of queries about them and the people falling over each other to give their opinion.

I have yet to meet the person who off the top of their head knows everything there is to know about this industry, sometimes people would be better to consider that before launching into a scathing reply.
