Line impedance measurement procedure

Select the Z LINE function using the function selector keys.

Set sub-function to Zline using UP / DOWN keys.

Select test parameters (optional).

Connect test cable to the instrument.

Connect test leads to the item to be tested (see Figure 5.31 ).

Press the TEST key to perform the measurement.

Store the result by pressing the MEM key (optional).

Displayed results:
Z ............... line impedance
Isc ............ prospective short-circuit current
Lim ........... low limit prospective short-circuit current value
Prospective short circuit current is calculated as follows:
