Calculating the leakage resistance
Introduction
If you wish to protect the ET 200SP using a ground-fault detector or a residual current circuit
breaker, then you need the leakage resistance to select the correct safety components.
Ohmic resistance
When determining the leakage resistance of the ET 200SP, you must take into account the
ohmic resistance from the RC combination of the module in question:
Table C- 1 Ohmic resistance
Ohmic resistance from RC network
Formula
You can calculate the leakage resistance of the ET 200SP using the following formula if you
protect all of the modules listed above with one ground-fault detector:
ET200SP
module
ET200SP
Leakage resistance of the ET 200SP
Leakage resistance of a module
Number of BaseUnits BU15...D and interface module in the ET 200SP
CPU/IM

Leakage resistance of the BaseUnit BU15...D
If you protect the modules listed above within an ET 200SP with several ground-fault
detectors, you must determine the leakage resistance for each individual ground-fault
detector.
