Running an RFL Test
To run an RFL test, do one of the following:
• Select
RFL in the POTS Toolbox (Figure 4-3), then press K.
OR
• From the
Setups - R.F.L. menu, press K.
The tester locates the leg positions and values of all fault resistances, and then
displays a screen that prompts you to connect a far-end strap (dotted line).
For a single-sided ground fault, the display will look like Figure 4-12:
