3.6.3 Automatic measurement of RCD parameters
The meter enables automatic measurement of the following: RCD disconnection times (t
A
),
disconnection current (I
A
), touch voltage (U
B
) and resistance-to-earth (R
E
). Additionally, there is a pos-
sibility of automatic measurement of short circuit loop impedance Z
L-PE
RCD in a manner described in
point 3.4.3. In the automatic mode, it is not necessary to actuate a measurement each time by means
of START push-button. The operator of the meter only has to initiate a measurement by pressing START
push-button once and switch RCD on each time after it is triggered. The below table shows maximum
number of parameters measured and sequence of measurements for preset value of rated current I
