*any value below 300ms indicates an RCD has tripped in an adequate time.
.5 Press the
mode button to select 180
.6 Repeat the above test.
Record the higher of the two values.
8.5 5 x I RCD current rating (Tripping test on 30 mA RCD)
Repeat the test sequence in 8.4 but with the LEFT rotary range knob to the
mode button to select 0º.
.2 Press the TEST button.
The Display should show one of the following:
*any value below 40ms indicates an RCD has tripped in an adequate time.
.4 Press the
mode button to select 180º.
.5 Repeat the above test.
Record the higher of the two values
8.6 Ramp test
The RCD trip current is measured by applying a test current of half the rated trip current and increasing this every
300 ms (or 500 ms for type S RCDs) from 30% to 110% of the RCD current rating. When the RCD trips, the current flowing is
recorded and displayed in mA.
Making a measurement
.1 Select the appropriate RCD rated current on the right hand rotary switch
= 30 mA etc.
.2 Select the RAMP test on the left hand range knob.
