For copper at 20°C: (R_1) = 0.0172 × 25 / 2.5 = 0.172 Ω (R_2) = 0.0172 × 25 / 1.5 = 0.287 Ω (R_1 + R_2) = 0.459 Ω

(Z_s = 0.35 + 0.459 = 0.809 , \Omega)

Calculators are programmed with the Maximum Permitted $Z_s$ tables derived from the time-current curves of protective devices defined in these standards. earth fault loop impedance calculator

An Earth Fault Loop Impedance Calculator is an essential tool for electrical engineers and technicians to ensure the safety and effectiveness of earthing systems. By calculating the earth fault loop impedance, we can verify that the earthing system can provide a safe path for fault currents to flow to earth, thereby preventing electrical shocks. The calculator takes into account various parameters such as earth electrode resistance, fault loop length, cable size and type, and soil resistivity. By using the formulas and example provided, you can calculate the earth fault loop impedance and ensure the integrity of your earthing system. For copper at 20°C: (R_1) = 0
