ACDC : AC+DC(alternating current and direct current)
AC : Alternating current
DC : Direct current
ACPEAK : ACPeak
Function
Example
Command
Query
Sets protective conductor current.
Returns protective conductor current setting as alphabetic characters.
Command
:CONFigure:PCC ACDC
Sets protective conductor current to AC + DC.
Error
Query
Response
:CONFigure:PCC?
:CONFIGURE:PCC ACDC (Headers : ON)
ACDC (Headers : OFF)
Protective conductor current has been set to AC + DC.
Mode is set to something other than "protective conductor ammeter mode".
Setting ACPeak when the frequency range is set between 0.1 Hz and 1 MHz
causes an execution error.
Note
Use this command after using the :SYSTem:MODE command to set the pro-
tective conductor ammeter mode.
Setting a frequency range from 0.1 Hz will activate the following settings.
• Leakage current mode: When measured current is ACPeak, ACDC is used.
• In the AUTO range, HOLD3 is used.
• Voltmeter mode: In AUTO range, HOLD3 is used.
• Protective conductor ammeter mode: Frequency range setting is disabled
and operation starts from a 15 Hz setting.
