A change to our current Regulations,
over here, have required an Earth Fault
Loop test, be carried out after the
installation of electrical equipment, in
any Domestic,Commercial or Industrial
installation.
This test requires that the Installing
Electrician, after the new work is energised, a test shall be done, that
effectively tests the integrity of the
Phase-Earth and the Phase-Neutral
resistance, as this will find the final
size of the O/C protection and also it will
give the size of the expected Fault Current,
under Fault conditions,
Is there a comparative test in the USA
and England?,it's just that now, we are
required to do these tests.
Personally, I have been doing these tests
since I started my time, as an electrical
Boy.
But, what are your thoughts on increased
use of complex test-equipment, to
fault-find power supply problems,
your input, please.
