The document discusses how to calculate the maximum allowable earth fault loop impedance according to BS7671 2008 clause 411.4.5. The formula is Zs x Ia ≤ Uo, where Zs is the earth fault loop impedance in ohms, Ia is the current in amperes required to trip the circuit breaker within the relevant disconnection time, and Uo is the nominal line voltage to earth in volts. It provides the disconnection times for 230V systems and an example calculation for a 20A type D MCB to determine the maximum Zs value allowable.
