What is the point in carrying out zs on TT system other than verifying a loop.
We got an Ra of 14.8 but when all bonding is in place it comes down to 1.9 ohms for most circuits zs results. I just don't see the point if rcd protected .
 
The rcd main switch is going to trip on fault current even before the mcb reach full operating current. So the trip times arnt met. Geeees are yous on the ale everyday.
 
Your ever here the song , where's your head at , where's your head. I singing it.

did I not word the question right?? I know you English are slow, like uh hmmm errrr.



what is the point of zs test on a TT system with 100mA rcd an Ra of 14.1 ohms. . Think a 1A fuse might trip without help of rcd.

geeeeeeeezus
 
I know I ain't the brightest spark, but I don't know how you can't get what I'm saying without going off about overload, irrelevant.
