Wet Location Body Resistance

AJJewsbury:

Table 41.1 seems to be based on a 0.8 multipler?

How do you mean?

Any idea how this translates into a disconnection time?

BS 7671, for various wet locations, seems generally to keep 41.1 disconnection times for ADS but add other measures (such as 30mA RCDs or supplementary bonding) - rather than stipulating a shorter ADS disconnection time per se.

I saw that, and to be honest I don't agree with it from an ethics or code intent perspective. RCD failures are rather common in comparison, and outdoors supplementary bonding is not required.
