    TT distribution circuit

    Hi, a bit of advice required. I need to install another d.b to a garage, the tails are to be split. The earthing system is TT, the cable is armoured, clipped to the side of the building & over to the garage on a small cantenary wire. As it is TT would the distribution cable need to have rcd...

    0.4 disconnection time

    Hi we all know about the 0.4 disconnection time, but why 0.4 has this something to do with body resistance, can anyone shed light on this.

    disconnection times?

    found this today on a pre sort-out inspection: all appears fine apart from the downstairs sockets not on the RCD side...split load board to the 16th ed now lets pan down a bit: yep...its TT...heres some more: i wasn`t too impressed with the workmanship here either: went into...

    E7 disconnection

    I want to remove the fused isolator that fed an old storage radiator, neutral & earth no problem, but the live comes from the timeswitch protected by a sealed cover. Service fuse seals are often missing :D but not sure about timeswitch? I thought of terminating in a small henley block?, but open...

    Cable size for single phase motor control panel

    Hi all, Your help would be appreciated. We are mainly domestic sparx so I havn't much experience with cable sizing for motors. On site, we need to supply a motor control panel which operates the sewage pump. There are in fact two pumps but I think they switch between periodically to prolong...

    Max disconnection times for 50a shower circuit ?

    Hi guys, Just doing an EIC for a recent dis board change, I also installed a 50a (type b 60898) shower circuit for an 11.5KW shower. I am looking through my regs trying to find whether it comes under the 5s disconnection time...? I know 0.4s is for circuits less than 32A and non-distribution...

    Am I at risk of disconnection?

    Opinions needed...past the halfway mark in a major house refurb. (for info: am qualified electrician - although it's not the day job - Part P handled via Building Control). Top half of house is still a building site, lower half of house is sort of okay, but rough round the edges. Rang up EDF...

    Zs on rcbo

    Hi guys had a conversation with the boss in the office after work today about a zs I got on a 32A c type rcbo bs 61009, the earthing system is TN-C-S, he said he wasn't worried I got a zs reading of 0.90 even though a type c 32A rcbo has a max zs of 0.72 his words were "it's just like a TT...

    Notification of a disconnected circuit

    Do I need to notify the disconnection of a shower circuit? I have disconnected and made safe at the consumer unit and confirmed at the business end that the circuit is de-energised. If I do need to notify, on what basis am I doing so? Alteration in a special location? Sage advice/experience...

    Calculate the min size of cpc giving consideration to disconnection times and thermal

    Hi everyone, On the drawing it says the system's TN-C-S with declared Ze = 0,008 Ω and prospective fault current declared as 50kA When I calculate If = Uo / Zs = 230 / 0,716 = 321 A . With this value there's no way to match with 10A curve at fig. 3A6 (appendix 3) But if I calculate the...

    Changing a panel board with temporary DNO disconnection ?

    We have a a grain store refurb that needs completing , but in order to get a new panel board in on the 400a head we will need e-on to temporally disconnect the supply while the old one is removed and the new one is mounted and retailed . Has anyone else done this before and if so what sort of...

    Fault currents providing instantaneous disconnection/ thermal withstand of cables.

    HI. I have recently installed some circuits at work and i am having problems proving that the fuses will disconnect before the cables used get to their max permitted temperature. The two circuits are as follows: 1. 6mm L,N,E singles connected to a 32 amp HRC fuse...

    disconnection times

    Tn system disconnection time 0.4 s under 32a , 5s over 32a So if a circuit isnt protected by rcd, how do you know if the circuit breaker is tripping less than the maximum disconnection times. Does it rely on low max zs values and ze

    Disconnection Relay G83 - Embedded Generator

    I understand that a disconnection relay must disconnect in the event of mains supply failure, however by what means does it achieve this? If a sterling engine type generator is connected into a final circuit, what is the disconnection relay monitoring to register the mains failure? If anyone...

    2392 Question: Maximum earth loop impedance for 20A BS88 (gG) fuse

    What is the maximum earth loop impedance to BS7671:2008 for a circuit protected by a 20A BS88 (gG) fuse giving a 5 second disconnection time is: A: 7.42 B: 2.91 C: 1.84 D: 1.35 The green book says the ln for this type of fuse is 78A p299, that doesnt give you the right answer though. :confused5:

    disconnection times and RCD

    On the 2391 training course for all of this week and something popped up that I would like to what other people made of it. So we are talking disconnection times, and the question of RCD's pop up. More to the point, circuits not meeting the required disconnection times. I thought I would use...

    s type rcd

    Hi all, looking some advice on s type rcds. Basically can you use them on tt installations for earth fault protection on circuits that don't require additional protection? Know that on a tt installation disconnection times of either 0.2 sec or 1sec must be achieved depending on circuit, but with...

    RCD tripping times, 0.4 or <200 etc.....

    I always been told that an 30m/A RCD should trip within 200m/s (x1) and 40m/s (x5). But something iv never taken much notice of before is on test sheet the maximum disconnection time of a circuit less than 32A is 0.4. So....which is it? within 0.4 or within 200m/s????
