Incorrect measured values
Characteristics/detail Cause Remedy
Measured voltage
▪ No measured value.
Connection has no contact in
the plug terminal.
Check wiring and plug terminal.
Insulation trapped
Wire not inserted far enough.
Circuit breaker tripped. Check fuse.
Measured voltage
▪ Measured value too low.
Voltage drop on measuring
lead.
Check measured voltage at plug terminal
MI:01/MI:02.
Measured voltage
▪ Measured value fluctu-
ates.
Possible sources of fault:
▪ Leads laid in parallel.
▪ Tap-change operations.
Check measured voltage at plug terminal
MI:01/MI:02.
Increase distance from source of interfer-
ence.
Install filter if necessary.
Measured current
▪ No measured value.
Line to current transformer
interrupted.
Check wiring.
