3.5 Voltage drop
This function determines the voltage drop between two points of the tested network, selected by the
user. The test is based on measurement of fault loop impedance L-N at these points. In a standard
network, usually the voltage drop is tested between the socket and the switchgear (reference point).
The voltage drop is calculated according to the following formula:

where:
Z – fault loop impedance at the destination point,
