The charts below detail the Earth Loop impedance (Zs) for the GV7 range of Motor Protection Circuit Breakers (MPCB) for any TN system based on the British Standard BS7671:2008+A3:2015
Two documents are also attached:
1) Zs charts of TeSys motor protection circuit breakers:
- TeSys GV2
- TeSys GV3
- TeSys GV4
- TeSys GV7
- TeSys U
2) Explanation of the calculation of the maximum earth loop impedance
This also includes additional information about:
- Motor Rated devices
- Ambient Temperature
TeSys GV7 Range
Please refer to the charts below that detail the maximum earth loop impedance Zs for 0.4s disconnection time with Uo 230V
