Description
Max Zs Values is an easy to use Zs ( earth fault loop impedance ) value tool for looking up and calculating the maximum permitted Zs value for RCBO’s, RCD’s, MCB’s, fuses and some manufacture MCCB’s. We have coded the Zs tables from BS7671 in the app ready to calculate a Zs value.
Spending hours hunting for the correct Zs table is now thing of the past with this Max Zs Values app.

Keep up the great work,
Thanks.
Max Zs Values.
Excellent straight forward app
with rule of thumb calculation populated
great stuff.
Handy app just made better.
The Mccb max zs sheets are so useful.
Thank you.
Very convenient app.
Really helps to get an idea of the
loop impedance quickly.
FAQ's & How To
How to calculate max Zs
In order to calculate the maximum permissible Zs value we need to know the following data:
- la = The amount of current required to trip the MCB within the given time.
- In = The rating of the protective device in amps.
- Uo = Voltage to earth
Calculate Zs Formula:
Uo x 0.95 (Cmin) / la = Max Zs (100% value) x 0.8 = Max Zs (80% value)
Example: BS EN 60898 Type B 32 Amp
Ia: 5×32(A) = 160(A)
Uo: 230v x 0.95 = 218.5v
218.5(Uo) / 160 (la) = 1.36525, 100% Zs value rounded to 1.37 Ω.
1.37 (100% Zs Value) x 0.8 = 1.096, 80% Zs value rounded to 1.1 Ω.
Which Zs values should I use, 100% or 80% values?
It is generally recommended that the 100% max Zs values should be recorded on an electrical installation certificate or condition report.
However the actual measured Zs values obtained should be compared to the 80% temperature adjust values, this is to allow for the rise in cable temperature in fault conditions.
Should a measured Zs value exceed the 80% temperature adjusted Zs value then this would be considered a C2 observation.
- 100% Max Zs values = Record on paperwork.
- 80% Max Zs values = Compare to actual measured Zs values.

How to calculate Zs
To calculate Zs for an existing circuit is a simple calculation using the known Ze and R1+R2 values, however we have added a Zs calculator anyway for convenience.
How to calculate R1+R2
To calculate R1+R2 is a simple calculation using the known Ze and Zs or Zdb values, however we have added an R1+R2 calculator to the app anyway as it can be very handy if you have multiple R1+R2 calculations to make.
