Operating manual
BENNING IT 105
The BENNING IT 105 installation tester is a multifunctional tester for testing electrical installations in com-
pliance with IEC 60364-6 (DIN VDE 0100-600) and EN 50110 (DIN VDE 0105-100) .
The device is intended for the following measurements and tests:
- voltage, frequency and rotary field (phase sequence)
- low-impedance resistance (R
LOW
) with a testing current of 200 mA
- insulating resistance (R
ISO
) with testing voltage of 250/500/1000 V
- residual current protection devices (RCD
t
), (RCD
I
)
- loop impedance (Z
LOOP
) without RCD tripping
- loop impedance (Z
S
)/line impedance (Z
I
)
- Loop impedance (Z
S
)/ line impedance (Z
I
) with high testing current and calculation of the fault current
(PFC) and short-circuit current (PSC)
