Minor works R1+R2 measurement

[sheppertonspark]

r1 + r2 is also measured for initial verification. Ze + (r1 +r2) is approximately equal to the expected Zs. Ensures that the circuit is safe to energise before "live" Zs reading is taken. Apparantly is acceptable to calculate r1 + r2 from Zs-Ze when carrying out future testing (advice from NICEIC) sounds a bit wrong to me !

R1+R2 you mean? r1,r2 and rn are an end to end resistances of a RFC conductors, yes I'm a pedant, before you comment.

Calculating R1+R2 is only acceptable at the design stage using known values of resistance and the applicable correction factors for instances like change in temperature etc etc.
It’s must certainly wrong to subtract the Ze from Zs to come up with a value to be written down on a certificate/report.

I stand corrected (well sit down corrected to be precise)

I agree, pointless to "back" calculate R1 + R2
