Wet Location Body Resistance

Former Community Member over 4 years ago

What body resistance is assumed in wet locations vs dry locations? I have a feeling Table 41.1 does not take wet locations into account.

You can usually half the body resistance, which, in effect corrolates to half the shock voltage when the body is wet, as Mike has stated. These safety measures are usually achieved by supplementary bonding and/or RCDs, reg 415.

RCDs seem to be the preferred method of protection today. See this link below.
