5.9 Earth resistance
Earth resistance is one of the most important parameters for protection against electric
shock. Main earthing arrangements, lightning systems, local earthings, etc can be verified
with the earthing resistance test. The measurement conforms to the BS EN 61557-5
standard.
See chapter 4.2 Function selection for instructions
on key functionality.
