To select the low resistance range select ‘CONTINUITY’. 7.1 Test Procedure The object of continuity testing is to measure only the resistance of the parts of the wiring system under test.

    8. INSULATION TESTS WARNING Ensure that circuits to be tested are not live. Disconnect the instrument from the circuit under test before operating the function switch. To select the insulation resistance range select ‘INSULATION’. 8.1.1 The nature of insulation resistance Live conductors are separated from each other and from earth metal by insulation, which has a resistance which is high enough to ensure that the current between conductors and to earth is kept at an acceptably low level.

  • Page 24: Conduction Current

    8.1.3 Conduction Current Since the insulation resistance is not infinite, a small leakage current flows through the insulation between conductors. Since Ohm's Law applies, the leakage current can be calculated from Fig.16 8.1.4 Surface Leakage Current Where insulation is removed, for the connection of conductors and so on, current will flow across the surfaces of the insulation between the bare conductors.

  • Page 25: Damage To Voltage Sensitive Equipment

    present and can never be eliminated. This is why a direct voltage is used for insulation resistance measurement, the leakage current in this case quickly falling to zero so that it has no effect on the measurement. A high voltage is used because this will often break down poor insulation and cause flashover due to surface leakage (see 8.1.4), thus showing up potential faults which would not be present at lower levels.

  • Page 26: Preparation For Measurement

    ● Any other device which includes electronic components. 8.3 Preparation for measurement Before testing, always check the following:- 1 The ‘low battery’ Indication is not displayed 2 There is no visually obvious damage to the tester or to the test leads 3 Test the continuity of the test leads by switching to continuity test and shorting out the lead ends.
  • Page 27 4 Attach the test leads to the circuit or the appliance under test (see Figs 20 & 21) MΩ 1000V Fig.20 Example of Insulation resistance test on 4 wire-3 phase system. 5 If the “Live Circuit” warning is displayed on the LCD and/or the buzzer sounds, do not press the test button but disconnect the instrument from the circuit.
  • Page 28 WARNING ●Never touch the circuit, test lead tips or the appliance under test during insulation testing because high voltages exist. CAUTION ●Never turn the Rotary switch while the test button is depressed as this may damage the instrument. ●Always release the test button first after testing before removing the test leads from the circuit.

    9. LOOP/ PSC/PFC 9.1 Principles of measurement of fault loop impedance and PFC If an electrical installation is protected by over-current protective devices including circuit breakers or fuses, the earth loop impedance should be measured. In the event of a fault the earth fault loop impedance should be low enough (and the prospective fault current high enough) to allow automatic disconnection of the electrical supply by the circuit protection device within a prescribed time interval.
  • Page 30 According to the International Standard IEC 60364, for TT systems the characteristics of the protective device and the circuit resistance shall fulfill the following requirements: Ra x Ia ≤ 50V Where: Ra is the sum of the resistances in  of the local earth system and the protective conductor for the exposed conductive parts.
  • Page 31 Ω L - PE 50.0H z ATT :ON L-PE Fig.23 For this example the max permissible value is 1667 Ω (RCD =30mA and contact voltage limit of 50 V). The instruments reads 12.74 Ω, thus the condition RA ≤ 50/Ia is respected. However, considering that the RCD is essential for protection, it must be tested (Please refer to RCD TESTS section).
  • Page 32 According to the International Standard IEC 60364, for TN system the characteristics of the protective device and the circuit impedance shall fulfill the following requirement: Zs x Ia ≤ Uo Where: Zs is the Fault loop impedance in ohm. Uo is the nominal voltage between phase to earth (typically 230V AC for both single phase and three phase circuits).

  • Page 34: Principles Of Measurement Of Line Impedance And Psc

    Max value of Zs for this example is 1.44 Ω (MCB 16A, characteristic C), the instrument reads 1.14 Ω (or 202 A on Fault current range) it means that the condition Zs x Ia ≤ Uo is respected. In fact the Zs of 1.14 Ω is less than 1.44 Ω (or the Fault current of 202 A is more than Ia of 160A).

A precisely measured current for a carefully timed period is drawn from the phase and returns via the earth, thus tripping the device.

If this voltage is not normal or as expected, DO NOT PROCEED. NOTE: This is a single phase (230V AC) instrument and under no circumstances should it be connected to 2- phases or a voltage exceeding 230VAC+10%.
