RCD Testing in IT Systems
RCD testing at locations with IT systems requires a special test procedure
because the Protective Earth connection is grounded locally and is not tied
directly to the power system.
The test is conducted at the electrical panel using probes. Use the connection
shown in Figure 18 when performing RCD testing on IT electrical systems.

The test current flows through the upper side of the RCD, into the L terminal,
and returns though the PE terminal.
