Max Zs BS7671 17th Edition / Guidance Note 3 Inspection and Testing

Hello,


There seems to be some slight differences with regards to acceptable Zs values when comparing the two documents BS7671 17th Edition A3 and Guidance Note 3 Inspection and Testing 17th Edition A3.


For example table 41.3 from BS7671 17th Edition A3 states:


0.4sec trip D6A = 1.82 Ω


Adjusted to 80% as per appendix 14 = 1.456 Ω



However page 121 from Guidance Note 3 Inspection and Testing 17th Edition A3 states:


0.4sec trip D6A = 1.46 Ω




These two documents are produced by IET. Guidance Note 3 Inspection and Testing 17th Edition A3 is rounding up Zs values above the maximum allowable values detailed in BS7671 17th Edition A3, why is that ?

  • There were a couple of Russians, approx 30 years ago,  living in a New York flat working on the number of decimal places without repitition of Pi. They got to 5,000,000 dps !

    How they managed to get their mainframe up and running in a block of flats defies logic and utility bills !



    And (supposedly) the Americans got to the moon by using just 6 decimal places for pi!
