Hi all,
First post coming in…
I have a installation that we have been asked to Test, I conducted the usual tests for the Ze & Pfc. I got 0.4 ohms & 11.7kA respectively. Its a commercial block and the transformer is behind a locked door about 20m away, so probably reasonable to assume it’s accurate. So here is my question given the absence of 15kA RCBO’s and the rarity 15kA MCB’s, what are my options?
Thanks in advance.
ebee:
“they are effectively the same brand and susiquently tested to the same standards.” in essence perhaps so but in practice will the manufacturer actually confirm that to CYA? perhaps not
In this particular case it's not so much that it's “obvious that the parts are identical even though they've been sourced from different manufacturer” but that Schneider and Merlin Gerin are the same manufacturer (since Schneider bought out Merlin Gerin, and have proceeded to re-brand the existing Merlin range with SE logos).
