nected to the neutral of the system i.e. the same point as the
black neutral probe. 

If the system has no neutral then you must connect the black
neutral probe to the earth i.e. same point as the green earth
clip. This will only work if there is no RCD in this type of sys-
tem.  

5.3  Measurement of PSC (Prospective Short Circuit Current) 

Warning: Never connect 2 phases to this instrument

This is normally measured at the distribution board between
the phase and neutral. 

Select the 20kA, 2000A or 200A range

Connect the ACC016E distribution board lead to the IEC 
socket on the instrument

Connect the red phase probe of the ACC016E to the 
phase of the system, the 

black probe to the neutral of 

the system

and the 

green crocodile clip to the neutral

of the system

Carry out the initial checks

Press the test button. A bleep will sound as the test is 
conducted and the value of PSC will be displayed

Wait for the display to indicate the input voltage before 
conducting another test or disconnecting the instrument. It 
is good practice to disconnect the phase lead first  

Note: For loop impedances greater than 50

Ω

(PSC less that 5A

approx.) it is not possible to obtain an accurate PSC reading
and the unit will lock out the PSC range by displaying the VN-E
Hi over-range symbol.

PSC funcyion has a power factor correction of 0.84.

PSC = 

V

x 0.84
