5.5 Loop impedance and prospective short-circuit current
The loop impedance is a complex AC current resistance within a fault loop (earth fault L-PE)
consisting of current source, external conductor and protective conductor. The installation tester
measures the impedance of the loop and calculates the short-circuit current. The measurement
complies with the requirements specified in the EN 61557-3 standard.
