Note to self, don't do calculations while on the phone. You tend to make mistakes and give people duff info

If I got a ze reading of 4.2ohm

And an r1+r2 of 1.5ohm

What would the zs be?

If your going to ask questions at least use the correct terminology.

Impossible to accurately determine from information given

Pretty sure at college these days you have to get it this way....

Im sure i read it on here somewhere, that because accurate Zs is a live test you have to guess it at college as its a unnecssary live test... god, do you not know health and safety these days lol.

Check the calculation yourself Sarah, 0.017 X 190 = ?

[GLENNSPARK]

Maybe we know the correct terminology and could ask you, but a trainee needs to learn properly and not just from incorrect information. Theres a lot of difference between 100M ohms and 100m ohms for example.

 

[Hawkmoon]

No, simple.

Then I must be simple...please explain trev

 

[Plonker 3]

All forgotten

With a famous super hero move

Ze + (R1+R2)= Zs (But you don't need me to tell you that)
However, I didn't see that the correct terminology hadn't been used. My bad but I'm sure that calculation was what was intended
