11.3 Protective Earth (PE) Conductor Current
Refer to Fig 5
This test is applicable on Class I
Equipment.
The Protective Earth (PE) Conductor Current Test
displays the current flowing in the earth conductor of
the EUT. This is measured by looking at the difference
in current flowing in the live and neutral conductors.
The Tester displays the result in milliamps (mA).
In the top left area of the screen, the tester also
displays the EUT load in kVA.
Warning: Always test the earth continuity
and insulation resistance before performing
a PE Conductor Current test.
Warning: Always check that an appliance
with moving parts (e.g. an electric drill) is
safely mounted to avoid risk of damage to
equipment or personnel.
