Testing a mains cord
•
Visually inspect the mains cord and plug for
signs of damage.

The PrimeTest 100 will first test the continuity of
the protective earth.
•
If the measured value is greater than the factory
set limit a cross is placed next to the
R
PE
enunciator, a FAIL is indicated.
Note:
The protective earth resistance will depend
upon the length of the extension lead and the
size (cross sectional area) of the cable. The
measured value may be acceptable even if a
cross is shown next to the
R
PE
enunciator. For
reference, typical resistance values for a variety
of cable lengths and cross-sectional area are
given in Table 1.
•
If the measured value is less than the factory set
limit a tick is placed next the
R
PE
enunciator.
•
The unit will proceed with the Insulation test.
•
If the Insulation Resistance is lower than the
