11.7 Testing Extension Cables for VDE 0701, Part 1, and VDE 0702
(option: EL1 adapter)
Extension Cables up to 5 m Long
Protective conductor resistance between the earthing contact at the
mains plug and all exposed metal parts may not exceed 0.3 Ω for safety
class I devices. This value may not exceed 1 Ω for permanently
connected data processing systems (DIN VDE 0701, part 240).
Extension and Connector Cables Longer than 5 m
Per DIN VDE 0702, an additional cable resistance of 0.1 Ω, however, not
more than 1 Ω, is allowable as of a length of 5 m for each additional
7.5 m.
Resistance testing for cables longer than 5 m is thus advisable (see also
limit values on page 17).
Note
☞
The EL1 accessory adapter is required for testing for short-
circuiting and interruption of single-phase extension cables.
