Earth fault loop impedance testing - ZS

Yo!
In this video i run trhough the full process of earth fault loop impeadance testing and about of the theory behind the ZS test.

Great video as always Mike 👍🏼

[@electricalservicesmaroc]

Yes 👍

[@pinchermartyn3959]

Excellent run through of what it is. Thanks

[@staypufttechtank]

Thanks for run through - nice video, well explained!

Thanks Mike Brilliant explanation You are great ❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you. God bless you

[@gordonkerr6740]

Thank you. That was very well presented. Well done you. Infact first class.

[@residualelectrical]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

I think with your tester doesn't have to be a 3 lead test for low. Easier to use 2 lead low. Just change setting with F1 button.

[@electrician247]

The most important test 🙌❤

[@electricalservicesmaroc]

Yes

Great content as usual. Keeping things simple, thinking about a teaching career when you're too old to be on the tools? Honestly if you lost any one then they need to go back to class. Best info for me was the quick summary on the fact different testers call it different things but the basics of hi and low (trip and no trip) and that most require 3 wire test on low.

Can I test Zs on a lighting circuit with led fitting which lit up? Cheers

[@kyledixon3464]

Very good videos

Sorry, but stating that impedance and resistance are the same isn't the best approach in my opinion. Impedance is resistance to AC current and the resistance value is purely the DC component. From your distribution board out along the final circuit which is just a cable, then yes, the impedance and resistance will be the same as the cable has no reactive component to it. That is why it is just measured with a resistance meter. However, as you go back into the DNO supply from the distribution board and come to the transformer secondary winding, that does have both a resistive and a reactive element and the two added together will give the impedance. It therefore, must be measured with an AC Test Current. If you measured the the DC resistance of the earth loop, you would get a lower value than if you measured the impedance value. The impedance value is more reflective of the actual fault current, where as the DC loop measurement would give a higher fault current, that the system would not be able to supply in reality.

[@TheHomeent]

If it wasn't "basically" the same how could you add R1 and r2 to Ze. Yes Z is a measurement of resistance at a given frequency, but a straight run of copper should have negligible difference between Z and R, now a motor winding or an indicator coil or anything that produces a reasonable magnetic field then Z is greatly affected in relation to R.
