Answer to your question: 1667 Ohms is the maximum earth fault loop impedance in a circuit protected by a 30mA RCD, otherwise it won't trip. Though realistically, you should be measure a fraction of this value.

With a TT system, the potential needed to trip the RCD should be at most 50V. Divide 50V by the RCD rating and you get a maximum impedance (rounded to the nearest ohm) of. 1667 ohms for 30mA 500 ohms for 100mA 167 ohms for 300mA 50 ohms for 1A

Corey the magic number for a 100ma rcd is 500ohms . 1667 is for a 30ma rcd . You should pursue a sub 100 ohm reading for an earth rod . A stand alone genset requires 20ohms I believe from memory

@richieh92 Ай бұрын

I have no idea, I work in IT but have an interest in electrical. I did some investigating and I think 1667 is significant because it represents the maximum allowable resistance for an earth electrode measured in ohms. I could be totally wrong and probably made myself look silly but oh well 🤣 Really good video though, very interesting! Such a good label printer as well, I have one of those and tidied up the hand written labels done by the electrician. Looks so much better!

It's interesting, because we don't really 'import' a ground (earth) in Canada, we essentially always require a ground rod, but in modern code we also require at least two ground rods, spaced an appropriate length apart. Always fun to see the difference approaches.

Usually the main panel/load centre coming into a property... as I understand it, if they didn't do this, current could flow directly to the ground in a fault situation, and it wouldn't trip the breaker.

I do believe we would be considered TN-C-S as well, although with the caveat that we require a dedicated grounding rod on site (sometimes referred to an Multiple Earthing Neutral, I think). Anyways, my point was that we require a dedicated grounding rod (or multiple in newer installations) on every residential site. We don't 'import' a ground from the utility, or use a sudo ground of water pipes, etc.

With reference to 4:24, my reading of 7671:2018, A2 is that we don't need to separate earth electrodes from public distribution network in this situation anymore. In the new prosumers chapter 826.1.1.2.1 says "Any connection to the means of earthing derived from the public distribution network need not be disconnected". Of course there may be something else going on in this install that requires it - dunno what inverter you are using and whether it can switch it's own MEN link. Discuss!

+Cory Mac - ØY Electrical Please consider your TT installations and the case of 100mA time delayed upfront RCD, combined with downstream 30mA RCBOs of the single-pole variety. Does this configuration, in combination with TT earthing, result in upfront RCD tripping when there is a Neutral-Earth fault on a final circuit? If not, why not? If so, is the only solution to go to double pole / 4 pole RCDs/RCBOs downstream of the upfront RCD?.

@corymac Ай бұрын

They are all double pole downstream 😄

That makes sense for your nice upmarket installs; however there will be people looking to add solar and offline modes to existing all-RCBO board setups.(with large numbers of Type-a RCBOs, relatively modern, but single-pole).
