    Cooker Disconnection Time

    Cooker 30A I assume the disconnection time is 0.4 seconds, even though the outlet does not have a socket. Only circuits for distribution above 32A are 5 sec. Ta New comer:)

    Is there any point testing earth loop impedance

    In a tt system? The earth spike is Reading greater than 50 ohms so clearly the mcbs won't make their rated disconnection times. Waste of time?
