Discuss Zs values? in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

max Zs= U0/Ia (x0.8) only works for B C D mcbs 60898 rcbos 61009. (table 41.3) makes life easier to work out max zs without looking it up... fuses i look up. ;-)
Jud - you are strictly correct but post #75 was in reply to another post and I, at least, think it quite obvious that he is referring to his discovery/realisation that the 5, 10, 20 only works with 60898s.

Also, as you can see he does refer to 'without looking it up' or as I put it 'needing the graphs'.

I just got the impression that you were 'raining on his parade' when he wasn't really wrong if read in conjunction with his previous post.


Edit -substituted I for you

I didn't intend to rain on his parade. His previous post regarding 60898 and 61009 breakers was bang on the money.

I was replying soley to post #75, which is why I quoted it. SimpleSimon asked if the formula also applied to BS 88 fuses, to which Smiffy replied...
