    2. Description 2.1. Meter Overview The MT355 is a simple to use Earth Loop Impedance tester to make the accurate measurement of Earth Loop Impedance and Neutral Loop Impedance (Phase Neutral Impedance) quick and easy. Two types of tests are performed, one being No-Trip technology to avoid tripping of RCD's (ELCB's) whist performing the Loop Impedance Tests.
