Testing Ring final circuits

[Bonse]

I said bonding not main protective Conductor

thanks for the input like i said i just wanted to get the result as calculated. as a lot of sparks will calculate and be happy with the result

Loving the fast responses on this forum! not used to this cheers

basically the answer is parallel paths....

The fact that the Zs is lower than Ze + (R1+R2) is fine on the test certificate.

Thanks everyone much appreciated!

That's about it, a competent person reading the test results would expect that scenario.

Cheers IQ!

Cheers everyone in fact!

Correct, and in actual fact if the Measured Zs recorded on the SOTR was equal to the recorded Ze plus the recorded R1 + R2 then a competent person checking your results would be very suspicious of your R1 + R2 readings. He would probably suspect that they weren't resistance readings at all. ;0)

Lol, but do remember that in accordance with Guidance Note 3, calculation of Zs from Ze+(R1+R2) is acceptable

 

[Bonse]

So to eliminate parallel paths a calculations probably better, or do both and if he measured result is less than the calculated it can be down to parallel paths whith is acceptable

All good stuff guys!

Be reading GN3 again!

Correct again, but I still reckon he would suspect you did it the other way round ;o)

Sorry iphone type!

 

[Bonse]

I would happily show such person the sequence of tests to prove these are hactual results
