Page 25: Warning Messages
9 Warning Messages The SafeTest 99 will warn the user of possible incorrect test setups such as secondary grounding and isolated mains supply (line voltage isolated from ground). Secondary ground warning: To perform a valid test, the secondary ground must be removed. Testing with a secondary ground will lead to invalid readings as the leakage current will flow through the low resistance secondary ground rather than the high resistance (1kΩ) body model in the SafeTest 99. -
