4.6 Measurement of portable residual current device trip time –
PRCD (only PAT-2E and PAT-10)
This test is performed to evaluate the technical condition of a portable residual current device. PRCD
measurements require the tester to be powered from the mains. When it's not connected the test
can't be initiated, and the mains plug icon is flashing. In order to start the selected set of tests,
the mains power supply must be connected.
