I have a Ze reading of 0.35 on a TNCS system and I've had the DNO out to check and they say its ok.

From my main board I have 2x 10mm sub mains feeding another board and my Zs on the cables is ~0.45 ohms. Max allowed according to BS7671 is 0.35 ohms. What can I do in this instance as the high Zs is caused by the high Ze which the DNO has okayed.

Thanks for the input.

Where does BS 7671 stipulate any such limit? (And incidentally, you have already stated that the DNO have met this imagined "limit".)

Just re-read the OP's post and it is an existing 5C SWA so presumably a 3P supply. For 40A and 150m you are seeing 6.6V drop or 1.65% of 400V 3P...
