performing measurement. During this whole stage, do not disconnect the
test leads of the instrument from the mains.
6. According to standard EN61008, the test for selective RCDs requires an interval of 60
seconds between the tests. The mode is therefore unavailable for selective RCDs, both
of A and of AC type.

the instrument supplies an

8. When the RCD trips and
separates the circuit, if the
tripping time and current is
within the limits reported in
Tab. 5, the instrument gives
a double acoustic signal
which signals the positive

6.4.5. RA
mode
In RA mode, the contact voltage and the total earth resistance are measured by supplying
a leakage voltage equal to half the value of the set nominal current in order to prevent the
RCD from tripping.
