some questions on TT

[oldspark]

Hi: on a TT system what Ze would you use to base a circuit design on.

Where it says on the EIC Electrode resistance is that a standard test for Ze or is it the actual resistance of the rod.



If putting 2 ring mains through the same hole in Joists there are 4 cables and 2 circuits do you rate it as 2 circuits for Cfs

finally if half your circuit lenth is pulled through joists and half in plaster ie downstairs sockets is it C or what do you reakon

Cheers

The maximum laid down in the OSG?

I would measure Ze after rod installation.

2 circuits.

A C?

You mean installation method?

I would say that was Method 1.

Take a reading for Ze.
Use efli meter and test Ze this can be used as electrode resistance (Ra).
Same circuit but count as 4 cables.
C ?

What are these strange letters of which you speak?

I'm not familiar with them...

Send secure back to the classroom...

If your on about the C ...I havent got a clue, I thought the same as you he was after installation method & yep I'd go with 1.

Sorry..... C is on the cert for PVC cables in non metallic trunking

Could you clarify what the options are. On the forms I have it would be A as there is no conduit involved but C on these forms stands for PVC cables in non-metallic conduit (not trunking...). Is that what you meant?

Sorry for confusing you all. got most of the answers apart from the installation one, as I said if half the lenth of your circuit is pulled through joists and half is drawn into pvc conduit and then plastered what is the correct installation method to record on the cert.
know what I'm after now??

Go for the worst case scenario, so it would be listed as wiring type 'C'

You didn't mention the conduit before In that case put it as C for the same reason as RF.

Cheers: sometimes you need to clarify.

Where the bloody hell did those codes come from?

 

[davy_owen_88]

They are on the NIC electrical installation cert.
