PGT-61-164 SureTest Circuit Analyzer WARNING! To maintain stated accuracies during repeated use, allow 20 seconds between insertions to adequately dissipate any heat buildup during the load testing. Introduction Utilizing patented technology, the SureTest circuit analyzer “look behind walls” to identify wiring problems that can lead to personal shock hazards, electrical fires, or equipment performance issues. -

Menu Navigation The microprocessor’s top priorities are to take live measurements and then analyze the data. Hence, the microchip occasionally will not recognize the keypad buttons being rapidly depressed, while it’s executing these changes. -

PGT-61-164 SureTest Circuit Analyzer GFCI Test Button Depressing this button displays the GFCI main menu. Two tests can be performed in this menu: GFCI and EPD. The GFCI tests Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting devices by faulting 6-9mA from hot-to-ground per UL-1436. The EPD tests those breakers, which have an Equipment Protective Device feature that trips the breaker if a ground fault of greater than 30mA is detected. - Page 7 PGT-61-164 SureTest Circuit Analyzer Voltage Measurements The line voltage measurement should be 120 VAC +/-10% fluctuation at 60 Hz. The peak voltage should be 1.414 times the rms line voltage reading for a clean sine waveform. Ground- to-neutral voltage should be less than 2 VAC. In a single-phase circuit, a higher ground-neutral voltage indicates excessive current leakage between the neutral and ground conductors.
- Page 8 PGT-61-164 SureTest Circuit Analyzer Voltage Drop (V ) Measurements The SureTest measures the line voltage, applies a load on the circuit, measures the loaded voltage, then calculates the voltage drop. Results are displayed for 12A, 15A, and 20A loads. The National Electrical Code recommends 5% as the maximum voltage drop for branch circuits for reasonable efficiency (NEC article 210-19, FPN 4).
- Page 9 PGT-61-164 SureTest Circuit Analyzer ASCC = Line Voltage (V )/ (Hot Ω + Neu Ω) ASCC = Line Voltage (V )/ (Hot Ω + 1/(1/ Neu Ω + 1/Grd Ω) Impedance (Z) Measurements If the voltage drop measurement exceeds 5%, analyze the hot and neutral impedances. If one is significantly higher than the other, the problem is with the conductor with the much higher impedance.

PGT-61-164 SureTest Circuit Analyzer GFCI Testing To test the GFCI device, the SureTest creates an imbalance between the hot and neutral conductors by leaking a small amount of current from hot to ground using a fixed value resistor. The trip current should not be less than 6mA or greater than 9mA per UL-1436. A functional GFCI should sense a imbalance and disconnect the power. - Page 11 PGT-61-164 SureTest Circuit Analyzer Expected Possible Possible Measurement Problem Result Causes Solutions GFCI doesn’t trip GFCI maybe Check wiring for GFCI Test GFCI trips within within proper trip installed proper installation trip time time improperly in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and GFCI doesn’t trip GFCI may be Check wiring and defective...
