Pirform now has a new feature that allows you to disregard high Zs readings for TT installations. This feature must only be used if the requirements of Regulation 411 in relation to disconnection by means of an RCD has been met.
We are pleased to announce the release of a new version of Pirform is now available from our download area.
The main new feature of this release is the ability to import and export your certificates and reports. Please note that certificate import and export is available as a paid addition to the Lite Edition licence. You can add this “bolt on” to your Lite Licence using our website store.
To tell Pirform that a circuit is a ring final circuit, just enter the word ring into the Circuit Description field.
Pirform looks at 5 separate aspects to determine whether the over current protective device you have selected is appropriate to the cable size in use. These are:
Wiring type
Reference method of installation
Cable size
Protective device rating
Whether the circuit is a ring final circuit (Pirform assumes all circuits are radials until you tell it otherwise).

In our last release, along with new features we also fixed a problem that caused the database file to grow larger than it needed to be. Pirform checks its database after it opens and updates it if needed and the last release contained an update that had quite a lot of work to do and which could take a minute or more even on a powerful PC. When this update was run on a database file that had grown too large, some user’s machines were unable to complete the upgrade and failed showing the standard Windows error reporting dialog.
