Loop impedance is a live test which is carried out on a circuit to check the resistance of the live (phase or line) conductor to the earth ( c.p.c ) conductor . This shows if the current created under fault conditions will blow the fuse ( trip the breaker .......) . Often refered to as earth fault loop impedance it is a extremly important test to verify the system is safe .

How do you calculate internal fault loop impedance?
by calculating the loop current
How does line earth loop tester find Impedance of Supply System?
OK, well Earth Loop Tester have a permanent magnet in it. When we rotate it, the flux cut the the conductor and consequently an emf is produced. As we connect the two point of the tester to the earth it complete the circuit and current start flowing through it. The ratio of voltage and current give us the Impedance of Earth.
What is earth fault loop impedance?
An earth-fault loop is the path taken by the fault current, when an earth-fault occurs within an electrical installation, and comprises a series circuit made up ofthe utility company tranformer's low-voltage winding,the utility company's distribution cable's line conductor,the consumer's line conductor to the point of an earth fault,the consumer's earthing conductor,and the resistance of the earth path back to the transformer.The combined opposition of this series circuit to the flow of fault current is termed the earth-fault loop impedance, expressed in ohms.
Input impedance of current shunt feedback amplifier?
The input impedance of a current shunt feedback amplifier is the open loop impedance of the amplifier divided by 1+(A*beta)
How do you calculate 3 phase earth fault loop?
You can't have a three phase earth fault, you can have a phase to phase or a phase to earth fault. If you want the potential phase to earth fault current it will be your voltage times your impedance. If you want the phase to phase potential fault current then you should just double the above result.

If a 240V circuit is protected by a 15A simi-enclosed fused and has an electrical earth-fault loop impedance of 1.9 ohms determine the earth fault current in the event of a zero impedance earth fault?
I am assuming that its a 240 Volt AC circuit supplying an inductive load with a fault loop impedance of 1.9 ohms at the time of the short circuit. The power factor is assumed to be 0.8 The instantaneous earth fault current value would be; Current = (Voltage x Power Factor) / Impedance (240 x 0.8) / 1.9 192 / 1.9 = 101 Amps. However this may be a trick question as it doesn't ask for an instantaneous value, the fuse will limit the fault current to 15 amps and should disconnect the circuit within 0.4 seconds.
How do you get input impedance and output impedance?
Look at "Different names for the two impedances Z1 and Z2": Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculation the damping of impedance bridging or power matching an interface connecting Zout and Zin". Scroll down to related links and look at "Measurement of input impedance and output impedance".
Why do amplifiers have zero output impedance?
Good amplifiers have low output impedances. The reason is "impedance bridging". Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculation the damping of impedance bridging or power matching an interface connecting Zout and Zin".

Why short circuit calculation is not required for LT cables?
Lt cables has own impedance which reduce the short circuit fault level
How Can You Build a Small EMP?
A large bank of low impedance capacitors discharged into a single loop of wire will do it. i need more detel
How loop antenna and dipole antenna can be used interchangeably?
A full-wave loop antenna can be interchanged with a folded dipole without much difference. The input impedance is similar and the only difference is in the directivity: a full wave loop radiates along the axis of the loop, while a vertical folded dipole is omnidirectional.
If an earth fault loop impedance test reading is unsatisfactory what are the three possible solutions?
Check the MEN link is in place Check if the PEC terminations are tight at the switchboard and socket outlets Use a PEC with larger cross section area
