makes sense mate thanksIts the maximum touch voltage allowed
An example would be if you try to carry out an rcd test on a circuit if the meter detects a voltage above 50v line and earth it will abort the test

I know mate i wasnt very clear we were just discussing the topic in college for our test and inspect exams so had a lot of clearing up that needed doing. I was asking why we have maximum Zs for tripping times and how an MCB or RCD would trip any quicker with lower Zs.9
firstly MCB and rcd do different jobs ,so if you asking about tripping RCDs when doing efli tests that cool or if you asking why we have maximum zs for tripping times that fine too , it just your overloading your self with questions and adding them together so it doesn't make sense when your responding , if we got off on the wrong foot sorry ,i always said i wouldnt do the "get a electrian in , that under part P etc response s so it my bad
Another example for touch voltage would be take a bathroom with just a lighting circuit 6 amp type b mcb not rcd protected but supplementary equipotential bonding has been carried out.makes sense mate thanks

If you wanted to test the affectivness of the bonding then a continuity test between exposed pipework and the cicrcuits cpc would need to be within 1.67 ohms before the max 50v touch voltage is exceeded as the formula would be 50v/ 30amps (to trip a 6amp type b mcb ) = 1.67 ohms.
Ian, sorry I'm confused, where did the 30A come from in your calculation? I may have missed something, hence my questionAnother example for touch voltage would be take a bathroom with just a lighting circuit 6 amp type b mcb not rcd protected but supplementary equipotential bonding has been carried out.

A 6amp type b mcb will trip instantaneously at around 3-5x rated current.Ian, sorry I'm confused, where did the 30A come from in your calculation? I may have missed something, hence my question
As the max zs is 7.28 ohms on a 6amp mcb type b it's 230x cmin 0.95=218.5volts /30amps=7.28 as this is max zs value for the mcb.A 6amp type b mcb will trip instantaneously at around 3-5x rated current.
6amp x 5 is 30amps for type B.
That's where the 50v/ 30 comes in for that particular type of mcb.
No that would be 1667 ohms which I've already explained earlier in the threadI think he possibly means 50v/0.03 for 30 mA
