In buildings, like substations, this depends on the geometry. Ensure that you are in sufficient distance and
not directly in front of the cabinet used for the test.
If the cable is accidentally energized during the test, the resulting high fault currents may lead to a high
force, which can cause a considerable mechanical movement of the CB GB1. Always ensure that you are
not near or direct in front of CB GB1 during the test, as shown in the two figures below.
Always use measurement leads with a least 10 m / 30 ft and a minimum distance of 5 m / 15 ft between CB
GB1 and COMPANO 100.
