Practical example of verification of the protection is a TT system according to

the international Standard IEC 60364.

For this example the maximum value is 1667Ω,the loop tester reads 12.74

Ωand consequently the condition RA is <_ 50/la is met.

It is fundamental for this example to test also the RCD to ensure that

operation takes place quickly enough to respect the safety requirement.

According to the international Standard IEC 60364 for TN system the

following condition shall be fulfilled for each circuit:

Zs<_Uo/la

Where;

Zs is the earth fault loop impedance.

Uo is the nominal voltage between phase and earth.

la is the current that causes the automatic disconnection of the protective

device within the time stated in the following table.
