Table 41.1 Assumed Touch Voltage

I am a bit confused by this. Why do the disconnection times in Table 41.1 appear to be based on a touch voltage of 100 volts rather than a touch voltage of 125 volts?


For example, 110% of 230=  253 volts. Assuming L and PE are of the same size and material, indirect contact touch voltage is 126.5 volts. Would 0.33 seconds not appear more realistic?  


From IEC 61200-413

    Well, being old enough to remember 1981, though not old enough to vote at the time...

    From which we can deduce that Mike is a mere slip of a lad and no more than 57 years old. ?

    ... in the same way we had folk telling us not to include the area of the lawn in the 100m2 served by the ring, even if the socket for the lawnmower was say a socket by the back door. 

    (if you do include the lawn area you find it plays havoc with the diversity and maximum demand sums.)

    So for your Zoomup-style quiz of the weekend ...


    When I returned from letting out my house circa 1990, the lawn had been tonsured as it were, i.e. the mown area was semicircular. The rest was what we would nowadays admire as a wild flower meadow area. Why?


    P.S. Not an RCD in sight!
