3. Measure the protective earth conductor resistance.
a) For detachable mains power cord:
1. Stretch the mains power cord to its full length.
2. Measure the protective earth conductor resistance from end to end, see
3. Use opposite polarity of the measuring equipment and measure the
4. Flex the mains power cord to different directions and monitor that it does not
b) For permanent power supply cord:
1. Measure protective earth resistance between the protective earth connection
2. Use opposite polarity of the measuring equipment and measure the
3. Flex the mains power cord to different directions and monitor that it does not
4. Check that the earth conductor resistance is less than 100 mΩ.
5. Record the measurement results.
