Discuss PIR done. high R1 on RFC. does this need a code? in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net
Those readings r1 and r2 will be the end to end resistance of the phase conductor and cpc I presume. Did you cross connect and do the R1+R2 tests,PIR done on domestic.
32a ring final circuit with RCD protection. R1 slightly high, most likely due to poor connection (0.92ohms)
R2 ( 0.54).
Does this need coding?
Zs is .53 so no non compliance there, but ob there is a clear fault on the R1.
What type of cable is being used because if it's Twin and earth r2 will be a smaller size, hence a higher resistance than r1 or rn, wont it?Shouldn't you investigate? Not sure what is entailed within a PIR.
I higher resistance on the r1 compared to r2 would most likely be a loose connection. I had the same situation myself yesterday. r1 was so loose it fell out as I removed the socket.
Btw (little r1 and r2 refer to the end to end resistances respectively, but you know that?)
I hope you are right gazdkw but I think there is a more fundamental reason.Yes. 1.67 x higher.
In the original posts situation r1 is high compared to r2.
I still suspect a poor termination
I hope you are right gazdkw but I think there is a more fundamental reason.
I asked the OP a question on Monday, a reasonable question I thought, so far no reply, so I guess he has sorted the problem, would be nice to know though.Do you have a idea what is causing it?
