2.28 X 3 = 3.95kA
An approximation can be done as 2 x the reading i.e.2 x 2.28 = 4.56kA
Note:- The minimum breaking capacity for
protective devices is 4kA

Average Value 122 + 125 + 127
3= 124.7
Maximum deviation
124.7 – 122 = 2.7 *
125 – 124.7 = 0.3
127 – 124.7 = 2.3
Percentage deviation2.7
124.7 x 100 = 2.1%
2% is very good, any value above 5% should be re-tested increasing the distance between the Electrode and the current spike.

served, location of control, methods of protection and equipment vulnerable to damage by the test equipment

2) List the test instruments required for this installation
Voltage proving unit
Low reading Ohm meter and insulation resistance meter (contained in a combined Insulation/Continuity tester)
Earth loop impedance and Prospective Short-circuit current meter
There are no RCDs in the installation, therefore no test equipment is required for these tests
![Page 36: T&i live tests](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556c61a3d8b42acc228b5540/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
3) List in the correct sequence the tests that are required
i) Continuity of protective conductors including bonding
ii) Ring final circuit continuity
iii) Insulation resistance
iv) Polarity
v) Earth loop impedance
vi) Prospective fault current
vii)Functional testing
![Page 37: T&i live tests](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556c61a3d8b42acc228b5540/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
4)a) Calculate the approximate value of R1 + R2 of the ring final circuit in rooms 1 and 2
b)Calculate the approximate Zs value for the above ring
c) What other test is automatically carried out when carrying out the ring final circuit continuity test
a) 2.5mm2 + 1.5mm2 = 7.41 + 12.1 = 19.51mΩ/m
R1 + R2 = 0.25(19.51/1000 x 30) = 0.15Ω
b) Zs = Ze + (R1 + R2)
Zs = 0.4 + 0.15 = 0.55Ω (measured at 200 C)
c) This test proves, continuity of the live conductors as a ring, continuity of the cpc and proves polarity
![Page 38: T&i live tests](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556c61a3d8b42acc228b5540/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
5) The following insulation resistance values have been recorded for 3 circuits supplied from the distribution board:-
2MΩ, 7MΩ and 50MΩ, all other circuits are > 200MΩ
Calculate the overall insulation resistance value and determine if this value is acceptable or unacceptable (give reasons)
1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R4
1/RT = 1/2 + 1/7 + 1/50 + 1/200
1/RT = 0.5 + 0.143 + 0.02 + 0.005 = 0.668
RT = 1/0.668 = 1.5MΩ
This is greater than the minimum of 0.5MΩ (acceptable)
![Page 39: T&i live tests](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556c61a3d8b42acc228b5540/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
6)a) Calculate the Zs value of the air conditioning unit
b) What factors need to be applied when correcting measured Zs values
c) What other method can be used to verify the measured Zs value
d) Apply the method given in c) above and confirm of the measured Zs value is acceptable or unacceptable
e) If unacceptable give two methods of overcoming this unacceptable reading
a)Zs = Ze + (R1 +R2)
(4.0mm2 + 1.5mm2 = 4.61 + 12.1 = 16.71mΩ/m)
Zs = 0.4 + (16.71/1000 x 15) = 0.65Ω (measured at 200 C)
![Page 40: T&i live tests](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556c61a3d8b42acc228b5540/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
b) Factors which need to be applied are:-
i) Ambient temperature when the test is conducted
ii) Cable operating temperature (usually 700C)
c) The rule of thumb (0.75 x max Zs)
d) Max Zs = 1.5Ω (1.5 x 0.75 = 1.125Ω > 0.65Ω measured
The circuit is acceptable
e) The two methods recognised in BS7671 are:-
i) Provide the circuit with an RCD
ii) Provide local supplementary bonding complying with the max resistance value of 413-02-27/8
