Applications
The portable test case, manufactured in accordance with “guidelines for equipment required
for electrical installation operations”, is intended for use by qualified electricians for
measuring and testing electrical devices after repair or modifications, as well as for periodic
testing, in accordance with DIN VDE 0701-0702.
According to these regulations, protective conductor resistance, insulation resistance,
differential current, contact current and equivalent leakage current must be measured, and
testing for the absence of voltage must be executed at user accessible conductive parts at
data processing equipment and office machines.
Further applications for the substantiation of correct functioning of electrical equipment
include the measurement of operating voltage and current consumption at devices under
test. Beyond this, the protective conductor at the mains connection can be tested for the
absence of voltage and line voltage can be measured. Extension cables can be tested after
connecting the VL2 E accessory.
