•
In L-n mode, the L and N phase conductors must NEVER be reversed. This is a requirement in some regions including the
UK. The icon appears on the display indicating that the system L and N conductors are swapped and testing is inhibited. Investigate and rectify the cause of this system fault before proceeding. L-n mode also changes the RCD x1/2 trip time duration to 2 seconds as required in the UK.
•
In L-n n-L mode, the unit allows the L and N phase conductors to be swapped and testing will continue.
Note
In locations where polarized plugs and outlets are used, a
swapped lead icon () may indicate that the outlet was
wired incorrectly. Correct this problem before proceeding with any testing.

Measuring Loop/Line Impedance
Figure 11. Loop/Line Impedance/Switch and Terminal Settings
apx006f.eps
Loop Impedance (Line to Protective Earth L-PE)
Loop impedance is source impedance measured between Line (L) and
Protective Earth (PE). You can also ascertain the Prospective Earth Fault
Current (PEFC) that is the current that could potentially flow if the phase conductor is shorted to the protective earth conductor. The tester calculates the
PEFC by dividing the measured mains voltage by the loop impedance. The loop impedance function applies a test current that flows to earth. If RCDs are present in the circuit, they may trip. To avoid tripping, always use the Zl No Trip function on the rotary switch. The no trip test applies a special test that prevents RCDs in the system from tripping. If you are certain no RCDs are in the circuit, you can use the Zl Hi Current function for a faster test.
22
Note
If the L and N terminals are reversed, the tester will auto-swap them internally and continue testing. If the tester is configured for UK operation, testing will halt. This condition is indicated by arrows above
or below the terminal indicator symbol ().
To measure loop impedance no trip mode:
Warning
To prevent tripping RCDs in the circuit:
•
Always use the
position for loop measurements.
•
Preload conditions can cause the RCD to trip.
•
An RCD with a nominal fault current of 10 mA will trip.
Note
To do a Loop impedance test in a circuit with a 10 mA RCD, we recommend a trip time RCD test. Use a nominal test current of 10 mA and the factor x ½ for this test.
If the fault voltage is below 25 V or 50 V, dependent on the local requirement, the loop is good. To calculate the loop impedance, divide the fault voltage by 10 mA (Loop impedance = fault voltage x 100).
1. Turn the rotary switch to the

Measuring RCD Tripping Time
apx008f.eps
Figure 16. RCD Tripping Time Display/Switch and Terminal Settings
In this test, a calibrated fault current is induced into the circuit, causing the RCD to trip. The meter measures and displays the time required for the RCD to trip.
You can perform this test with test leads or using the mains cord. The test is performed with a live circuit.
You can also use the tester to perform the RCD tripping time test in Auto mode, which makes it easier for one person to perform the test. If the RCD has a special nominal current setting other than the standard options, 10, 30, 100,
300, 500 1000 mA, you can use a custom setting with the VAR mode.
Note
When measuring trip time for any type of RCD, the tester first does a pretest to determine if the actual test will cause a fault voltage exceeding the limit (25 or 50 V).
To avoid having an inaccurate trip time for S type (time delay) RCDs, a 30 second delay is activated between the pretest and the actual test.
This RCD type needs a delay because it contains RC circuits that are required to settle before applying the full test.
Warning
