PROFITEST MXTRA
(section 12.2 as of V10).
4.2
Measuring Insulation Resistance (Riso)
Attention!
!
The right-hand rotary selector switch
must be set to the mains disconnect
position:
1~ OFF
or
3~ OFF
.
➭
In order to perform the insulation mea-
surement (Rins), connect the
PROFITEST
MXTRA
test instrument, via the measuring
adapter, to socket 9 for the cable at the
mains side and to socket 10 for the
cable at the test object’s outlet side.
Example, Single-Phase PRCD OUT Sockets
➭
Connect the PRCD as described in sec-
tion 3.3.
➭
Single-phase PRCD:
Connect the
PROFITEST MXTRA
test instrument, via the
2-pole measuring adapter, to the
PRCD IN
/ OUT
L1, N and PE sockets, one after the
other.
➭
Perform the measurement as described
in section 11 of the operating instruc-
tions for the
PROFITEST MXTRA
.
➭
3-phase PRCD:
Connect the
PROFITEST
MXTRA
test instrument, via the 2-pole mea-
suring adapter, to the
PRCD IN / OUT
L1, L2,
L3, N and PE sockets, one after the other.
4.3
Tripping Test with Nominal Residual Cur-
rent and Measurement of Time to Trip
Note!
If you operate your test adapter at an
electrical system with a 30 mA breaker,
the mains RCCB may be tripped during
the tripping test (tripping current and
time to trip) instead of the PRCD. In this
case the
MAINS L1
LED goes out.
In order to prevent an upstream RCD (also
non-selevtive RCD) from being tripped and
to ensure that the actual tripping current
and/or the correct time-to-trip are deter-
mined, we recommend the following proce-
dure (except for PRCD-K):
➭
Connect the
PROFITEST MXTRA
test instru-
ment via the 2-pole measuring adapter
with pole (L1) to L1 (PRCD-OUT) and
with pole (PE) to N (PRCD-IN).
Observe the correct polarity between
earthing contact plug and PRCD!
Exception type K PRCDs
➭
Connect the
PROFITEST MXTRA
test instru-
ment via the 2-pole measuring adapter
with pole (L1) to L1 (PRCD-OUT) and
with pole (PE) to PE (PRCD-OUT).
Observe the correct polarity between
earthing contact plug and PRCD!
Optionally you can connect the
PROFIT-
EST MXTRA
test instrument with the out-
put of the type K PRCD via the PRO-
SCHUKO adapter.
