Table 41.1 Assumed Touch Voltage
Former Community Member
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?
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?
Presumably the tenant didn't own an extension lead!
Spot on! It was so very irritating, but didn't take long to fix.
Back to Mike's point about the 100 m² area, a lawnmower, or strimmer, or WHY on a 50 m lead covers a semi-circle of about 4000 m².
