3.8 Performing an RCD test on an installation RCD

When performing an RCD test ensure that

the Continuity Test probe is disconnected

from the PrimeTest 250+.

Equipment which is connected downstream

of the RCD may cause measurement

inaccuracies.

Voltages between the protective conductor

and earth may infl uence measurements.

Leakage currents in the circuit may

infl uence measurements.

Potential fi

elds of other earthing

installations may infl uence

the

measurement.

The PrimeTest 250+ can be used to measure the
operating time of an installation RCD.

Connect the PrimeTest 250+ IEC lead to the IEC
socket of the PrimeTest 250+ and a mains outlet on
the RCD protected circuit.

To test the RCD operating time press the 30mA
RCD test key.

The mains supply status is checked and the status
is indicated using the LN, LE and NE enunciators
of the LCD.
