5.5  Fault loop impedance and prospective fault current 
 
Fault loop is a loop comprised by mains source, line wiring and PE return path to the 
mains source. The instrument measures the impedance of the loop and calculates the 
short circuit current. The measurement is covered by requirements of the EN 61557-3 
standard. 
 
 
See chapter 
4.1 Function selection for 
instructions on key functionality.
