Fault loop impedance measurement procedure
* model TESTBOY TV 450 (TYPE B)
Select the
Zloop
or
Zs rcd
subfunction using the function selector switch and
¿
/À keys
Select test parameters (optional).
Connect test cable the TESTBOY TV 450.
Connect test leads to the the item to be tested (see
figure 5.24 and 5.17).
Press the TEST key to perform the measurement.
Store the result by pressing the MEM key (optional)*.

impedance value for the UK version.
Prospective fault current I

Notes:
High fluctuations of mains voltage can influence the measurement results (the
noise sign
noise sign
is displayed in the message field). In this case it is recommended
to repeat few measurements to check if the readings are stable.
This measurement will trip-out the RCD in RCD-protected electrical installation if
test Zloop is selected.

Select Zs
rcd
to prevent trip-out of RCD in RCD protected installation.
