2.7.2.2 Exercise No. 2.7-2: Measuring R
PE
continuity in a TN/TT
system
Measuring procedure
1
To measure the insulation resistance select first the
R
200
function in the
continuity
(RLOW)
section. This is an AC type of measurement.
2
Set the minimum allowed insulation resistance and presence of a RCD by clicking
in the bottom left dark grey corner.
3
During this type of measurement only the shuko commander is used. Plug the
commander into the chosen outlet. Here the resistance between neutral and PE
conductors is measured.
4
Press the
START
key.
Expected results
Depending on the selection of the presence of a RCD the system will switch between
measuring methods, i.e. use different current as to not trip the RCD if present. In a
both cases the measured continuity resistance must be below 2
Ω. The interpretation
of the R
PE
test depends also on the type of earthing system used. In a TN system we
measure the resistance of PE conductors, whereas in a TT earthing system we actually
measure earth resistance.
