Resistance of the PE conductor is a sum of several components:
- resistance of the power core,
- resistance of the connectors,
- resistance of the extension cord (if exists).
This test is performed to evaluate the technical condition of PE conductor and PE connection with the
tested device. The measurement can be performed with 200mA or 10A (only PAT-10) test current.
Measuring with 10A requires connecting the tester to mains.
Press MANUAL button to go to PE re-

MANUAL button again). The measurement
procedure is the same for both current
values.
The tester is in PE
