Fault Simulation

Note!

If you operate your test adapter at an 
electrical system with a 30 mA 
breaker, the mains RCCB may be 
tripped during the tripping test (trip-
ping current and time to trip) instead 
of the PRCD. In this case the 

MAINS 

L1

 LED goes out.

6.1

PRCD-S (single-phase) 

➭

Switch mains power on by 
turning the right-hand rotary 
selector switch to the 

1~ ON

 position.

6.1.1

Simulated Interruption 

➭

Start with the left-hand rotary se-
lector switch in the first 

ON

 position in the 

orange area for single-phase interrup-
tion.

➭

Switch through the positions, one after 
the other, in the clockwise direction (ta-
ble from top to bottom).

6.1.2

Simulated Wire Reversal 

➭

Turn the left-hand rotary selector 
switch to the 

L1-PE

 position in the orange 

area for single-phase wire reversal.

Instead of the 

L1 LED

, the 

PE LED

 must light up.

It must not be possible to activate the PRCD 
when this fault is simulated.

6.1.3

Simulation of PE to Phase – PE-U

EXT

➭

Set the left-hand rotary selector switch 
to the 

PE-U

EXT

 position.

The 

L1 LED

 and the 

PE LED PE

 light up.

It must not be possible to activate the PRCD 
when this fault is simulated.
