    2.1. fUnCtIons of tHE DEvICE The C.A. 6116 installation tester is a portable measuring device with a monochrome graphic display. It is powered by a recharge- able battery with a built-in charger and external power supply unit. This device is intended to check the safety of electrical installations. It can be used to test a new installation before it is powered up, to check an existing installation, whether in operation or not, or to diagnose a malfunction in an installation.

    3.4. 3P EARtH REsIstAnCE MEAsUREMEnt This function is the only one that can measure an earth resistance when the electrical installation to be tested is not live (new installation, for example). It uses two additional rods, with the third rod being constituted by the earth electrode to be tested (whence the name “3P”).

    3.5. looP IMPEDAnCE MEAsUREMEnt (Z In a TN or TT type installation, the loop impedance measurement is used to calculate the short-circuit current and to size the protections of the installation (fuses or RCDs), especially their breaking capacity. In a TT type installation, the loop impedance measurement makes it easy to determine the earth resistance without planting any rods and without cutting off power to the installation.
  • Page 24 For a more accurate measurement, you can choose a high current (TRIP mode), but the RCD that protects the installation may trip. The alarm, if activated, serves to inform the user, by an audible signal, that the measurement is above threshold, making it un- necessary to look at the display unit to check this point.

This measurement is made without disconnecting the earth, with only one additional rod, saving time with respect to a conven- tional earth measurement with two auxiliary rods.
  • Page 30 To make this measurement, you can choose: „ either a low current which avoids any untimely tripping out of the installation but gives only the earth resistance (RA). „ or a high current (TRIP mode), which yields a more accurate earth impedance (ZA) with good measurement stability.

It requires the use of an optional current clamp. The C177 and MN77 clamps are better suited to these measurements because they are ten times as sensitive as the C177A clamp.

    3.9. tEst of REsIDUAl CURREnt DEvICE The device can be used to perform three types of test on RCDs: „ a tripping test in ramp mode, „ a tripping test in pulse mode, „ a non-tripping test. The test in ramp mode serves to determine the exact value of the tripping current of the RCD. The test in pulse mode serves to determine the tripping time of the RCD.
  • Page 38 If possible, first disconnect all loads from the network on which you test the RCD. This prevents interference with the test by any leakage currents due to these loads. If you have a current clamp, you can measure the leakage current (see §3.10) at the RCD and so make allowance for it during the test.
  • Page 39 To restore the factory adjustment parameters: I = 30 mA, STD and types. To perform a prior check of voltage U , choose a test current: 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, or 0.5 I To make a faster measurement by eliminating the prior check of voltage U , choose: --x--.
