MEASUREMENT OF RESISTIVE CURRENT (Ior) 

(At the grounding line) 

1) Set the power switch "ON".
2) By "Ior SELECT" switch, set the circuit condition to Single Phase (1

φ

/Ir) or

Three Phase (

/Ir).

3) Set the range switch to the appropriate range to be measured.

(Select bigger range than the expected current value).

4) Open CT part and clamp it to the grounding line to be measured. Close CT

completely.

5) While reading the displayed value, set the range to the most appropriate one.

(If you can locate the instrument to the direction less influence of external magnetic

field, you can make measurement more accurately). 

6) Press "Ior" switch one time. After approx. 6 seconds, the first Ior value will be

displayed.  (Take  average  value  of  several  times).  By press  "Ior" switch  once  again,
the    mode will return to Io current measurement.

(Except for the grounding line) 

In case of single phase/two or three wires, clamp CT to two wires or three wires 

    together. Setting of circuit is "1

φ

/Ir" by Ior SELECT switch. 

In  case  of  three  phase/three  or  four  wires,  clamp  CT  to  three  or  four  wires  all 
together. 
Setting of circuit is "

/Ir". 

The operation procedure is same as for leakage current of grounding line. 

Note 

Do not mistake to set the circuit condition in case of Ior measurement 

In case of harmonics current and Ior current measurements, cannot detect the values 
unless  the  fundamental  components  (50/60Hz)  are  inputted  more  than  2%  of  full 
scale 
of each range. 

Do not change the range according to the values of harmonics current. It may cause 
errors. 

By Auto Power Off function, the power will get off automatically approx. 10 minutes 
after the final key operation. 

When "                " sign has appeared on the display during the use, it shows the 

    batteries are exhausted. Change the batteries to the new ones immediately.
