There we go, you naughty boys & girls. Consider yourselves duly chastised, You must try harder to be Friendly & Helpful in future.
Forget the fact that over the course of a year, you freely give up your time to help probably hundreds of people and do so in a Friendly, Courteous & often Humorous manner.

Oh yes: Stop being so Cynical and Suspicious

Not sure why he's put N/A for continuity of protective conductors?
That is your R1+R2 tests.

Vol, I am glade after all this time this has been resolved for you however I must say that on the electrician discovering the reverse polarity after installation of the consumer unit being that the meter tails are so easily seen this would and could of been spotted immediately and would taken a couple of minutes to rectify its the fact that you was left for over a week like this. I hope we have all learnt something from this.

I simply don't believe that ANY BODY practising as a Spark can "miss" reversed polarity on the testing - I always test the old board then the new board and my Metrel won't conduct the Ze test with reverse polarity.

Dare I ask how much you paid and whether you received an invoice?

Some circuits are run surface and should be rectified in future ?
Whats the world record for speed of reaction of a 30 m/amp Rcd ?
200 M/ohm across the board seems like a very common reading for insulation resistance of well used installations these days
The consumer unit is a 11 way,the test schedule lists 5 ways,the 2 Rcds seem to have 3 circuits each ,decisions,decisions,try as I will,I just can't make sense of what has been produced

 

[Ian1981]

Is that right a measured ze of 0.65 ohms?
The zs results are less than the ze?
Wonder what the earthing system was.
Supposed he must have measured zs rather than the calculation as the zs readings would be higher with the calculation.

I've never got rcd test results that low haha
0.02 and 0.03 of a second
Edit
Or is it 0.2 and 0.3 of a second I can't make it out?

I feel vilified

Says .2ms @ x1 & .3ms @ x5

Go stand on the naughty step

3 phase supply

Tails in photo don't indicate that. Personally I don't like exposed live bus bars either.

I blame the Iet for asking for the readings in the columns to be in m/sec

Just pointing out that either it was a typo (very likely) or the report is a fudge

Corrected that for you...
