It is my reading that doing impedance tests we like a nice low resistance in theory overall and especially for earth , both Ze and R1 or both R1 and/or R2.
This makes a high potential fault current Uo/Ze, way above the allowed fuse sizes for a light circuit or many power too. So do wires really not manage to carry off that potential if they are 1mm or 1.5mm or 2.5mm?
This is my newbie question. Thanks. Held ECS basic card for a term but didn't get any training. Still very keen however to learn how to practice the installation of electricals trade. Gardener and labourer.
Question a bit fuzzy perhaps but the adabiatic equation jumps to using the result of this for finding a cable size. Really you want the resistance to have a suitable protective device for operation yet have gone on to assume the cable will not carry the impedance current or should have gone big csa/big fuse, or the earth fault has to choose between you and the cpc, the neutral already being broken but in a teeny little wire csa, no?
