It won't switch on. Check the 
safety switch 

position 

Error: the required current 
cannot be reached. Do you 
wish to continue 
extrapolating data? 

The MPC unit can not reach the 
required current due to an unknown 
cause. If allowed, the PDA will 
extrapolate the values at the desired 
current using the highest current 
that it can 

Connect  the  MPC  to  a  mains  socket 
connected  to  an  installation  with  less 
impedance  or  to  a  generator  with  more 
power. You may also try to reduce the load 

Danger: Main contactor 
failure. It won't switch off 

There is a risk of electric shock. 
The main contactor has broken and 
the safety protection is no longer 
valid 

 
Contact the vendor. 
 

Erratic voltages higher than 
50V. Continue? 

There is a risk of electric shock. 
The erratic voltages are too high. It 
is possible that one phase of the 
network is earthed 

Contact  the  manager  of  the  installation 
being tested. 

Danger: very high loop 
resistance, possible 
connection error. Check 
connections and make sure 
no one is touching the 
injection circuit. Do you wish 
to continue? 

There is a risk of electric shock. 
Resistance found is too high, maybe 
due to bad connections 

Check connections and make sure no one is 
touching the connectors/electrodes/auxiliary 
earth, 

remove 

rust 

from 

connectors/electrodes/auxiliary earth 

Warning: the unit may not 
have enough power to inject 
the required current. The loop 
resistance is too high for the 
indicated current. Do you 
wish to continue? 

There is a risk of electric shock. 
The loop resistance is too high for 
the requested current 

MPC  will  apply  the  maximum  power,  but 
will not be able to reach the required value 

Error: impossible to reach the 
required  current;  there  is  a 
drop  in  the  device's  power 
supply 

voltage. 

The 

installation  to  which  it  is 
connected is unable to supply 
the 

required 

current. 

minimum  of  20  KVA  is 
needed.  Do  you  wish  to 
continue extrapolating data? 

You  are  requesting  the  MPC  to 
supply  more  power  than  the 
electrical network is able to supply. 
Power  is  equal  to  the  earth 
resistance  times  the  square  of  the 
current  to  be  injected.  If  allowed, 
the PDA will extrapolate the values 
using a lower current than desired 

Connect  the  MPC  to  a  mains  socket 
connected  to  an  installation  with  less 
impedance  or  to  a  generator  with  more 
power 

Warning: a short-circuit has 
been found in the output. The 
current has been limited to 35 
A. Check the connections. 

Measured resistance less than 0 W 

Check the connections. 
There may be a metallic plane in the earth 

Warning, resistance found is 
greater than 120 ohms. Check 
the connections. Do you wish 
to continue? 

There is a risk of electric shock. 
Resistance found is too high 

Check the connections and make sure no 
one is touching the 
connectors/electrodes/auxiliary earth, 
remove rust from 
connectors/electrodes/auxiliary earth
