Minimum Voltage at incoming supply point

Retired now and not up to date with reg’s since 16th. Helping advise a friend. Currently they have 100amp single phase supply and whilst the no load voltage is up at around 238 volts, as the circuit is loaded, voltage drops off substantially. Even with a load of 50 amps, ie, half the supply fuse rating, voltage is slightly below the -6% limit, at around 215 volts, further load simply pushes voltage significantly lower, and by extrapolating measured data, it would be nearer 170 volts with a load of 100 amps, is this acceptable? I plan measuring Ze and pfc this week as a guide perhaps to supply loop impedance and, which I suspect must be causing this excessive drop. I’m aware of the ESQCR reg’s although need to update myself, but are there any other regulations that apply?

  • Ebee and AJJ this reminds me that we had a loose cut out fuse here at Kelly towers it ran a bit warm and crackled with the kettle or immersion heater on I foned  the DNO who didn't really want to attend so I said can I cut your seals and do it myself oh no don't do that they said  one of there blokes was at the door in 15 minutes amazing isn't it? If you concentrate there minds service is quite good.
