Yes the calculations are not really valid other than say a single farm house in the wilds, multi-houses and solar panels mean it is only approximant, however the question is still the same, if due to changing the cables used by simply selecting which fuses are inserted the DNO can change the ELI at the DNO head, is there an official allowance to be made for the change in Ze? If the DNO state the Ze will not go below xΩ and the measurement on the day is x-yΩ should the Zs have y added to it to see if it passes?
OK with nearly every circuit now RCD protected it is not now so important, but it is the circuits like a cooker supply which can still be without RCD protection which are using high current so are the more likely to have a problem with any Ze changes.
