John,

Do they supply an average and what the standard deviation is? And, does
it follow a Gaussian distribution? 

Designing for the case of 19 out of 20 sites doesn't make me
comfortable. I would want to design for the highest percentage of sites
while balancing the manufacturing costs.

IEC TR 60725. 0.4 + j0.25 ohm. It isn't the maximum, it's the value at 
the point of common connection which is not exceeded at 90% of sites.

It's information on North American systems which is meagre.
