Well, that is, unless my multimeter and Megger tester are faulty, which i find hard to believe as they have just come back from calibration, and my voltage drop and fault-loop impedance equations have come back to me with the same results, multiplying by juxtaposition, as what i see on my test equipment, which would be the same for you au3xr6

spot on I think the problem here is those of us who use calculations for real life physical values refuse to accept theoretical calulations that have no valid relationship to physics engineering and the real world systems like BODMAS are the product of academics who would starve if they had to work in the real world
