TnP 3PLM Testing Menu – Main Menu C
Use the Enter button to switch between Menu A , B & C. All tests on Menu C are 3 Phase Tests and only the 3
Phase Test Socket can be used for testing.
Three Phase Earth Test - Menu C – F1
The Three Phase Earth Test completes the following sequences as part of its procedure:
• Integrated Supply Mains Test - Refer to Integrated Test section
• Integrated NCNT Test - Refer to Integrated Test section
• Earth Bond Test (@ 200mA): 200mA test current, pass level less than 1Ω
• Insulation Test (@ 250V, 500V or 1000V): pass level greater than 1MΩ
Note: 250V insulation testing applies to Class 1 appliances if selected (refer to Technical Information for details to change
test voltage).
In some situations, if the appliance is labelled with “Surge Protection Fitted” or if it contains MOV’s (Metal
Oxide Varistors), conduct a 250V-insulation test. If unsure refer to the AS/NZS:3760 Standard. Should it still fail,
remove it from service. (Refer to the Technical Information section to change test voltage).
Note: Ensure that the device is isolated from any ground loop.
Procedure:
1. Complete a Visual Inspection.
2. Plug device into the Three Phase Test Socket.
3. Plug the IEC Clamp Cable into the IEC socket of the TnP 3PLM
4. Connect earth clip to any exposed metal on the device. If this is not possible, you can use a metal mesh
braid to establish an earth connection (sold separately)
5. Navigate to Main Menu C, then Press the F1 key to begin the test
6. The test will be conducted
7. Once complete, you can now record the result, then unplug and tag the appliance.
If the result was a
PASS
- Tag with PASS tag showing “next test due” date and return the device to service.
If the result was a
FAIL
- Tag the DUT with a DANGER tag and remove the device from service.
Three Phase Extension Lead Test - Menu C – F2
Note: Extension leads should always be uncoiled before using or testing. Please ensure that the IEC Adaptor & the IEC
socket are connected firmly to prevent continuity/polarity test failure.
The Lead Test completes the following sequence as part of its comprehensive testing procedure:
1. Integrated Supply Mains Test - Refer to Integrated Test section
2. Earth Bond Test (@ 200mA): 200mA test current, pass level less than 1Ω
3. Insulation Test (@ 250V, 500V or 1000V): pass level greater than 1MΩ
4. Continuity and Polarity Test 240VAC @ 2mA Checks continuity & polarity of leads
