5.2 Resistance to earth connection and equipotential bonding
The resistance measurement is performed in order to assure that protective measures
against electric shock through earth bond connections are effective. Four subfunctions are
available:
Earth bond resistance measurement according to EN 61557-4 (between N and PE
terminals, test current >200 mA),
Earth bond resistance measurement according to EN 61557-4 (between L and PE
terminals, test current >200 mA),
Continuous resistance measurement with lower test current (between N and PE
terminals, test current ca 7 mA),
Continuous resistance measurement with lower test current (between L and PE
terminals, test current ca 7 mA).
See chapter
4.2 Single test
for functionality of keys.

5.2.1 Continuity R200 mA measurement
The resistance measurement is performed with automatic polarity reversal of the test
voltage.
