5 5.1 General Notes Connecting the Instrument For systems with earthing contact sockets, connect the instrument to the mains with the test plug to which the appropriate, country-specific plug insert is attached. Voltage between phase conductor L and the PE protective conductor may not exceed 253 V! Poling at the socket need not be taken into consideration. The instrument detects the positions of phase conductor L and neutral conductor N and automatically reverses polarity if necessary.
5.5 Help Function The following information can be displayed for each switch position and basic function after it has been selected with the rotary selector switch: • Wiring diagram • Measuring range • Nominal range of use and measuring uncertainty • Nominal value ➭ Press the HELP key in order to query online help: ➭ If several pages of help are available for the respective measuring function, the HELP key must be pressed repeatedly. ➭ Press the ESC key in order to exit online help. 5.
5.7 Freely Selectable Parameter Settings or Limit Values In addition to fixed values, other values can be freely selected within predefined limits for certain parameters, if the symbol for the EDIT menu (3) appears at the end of the list of setting values. Freely Selecting a Limit Value or Nominal Voltage 5.
6 Measuring Voltage and Frequency 6.1.2 Voltage between L – PE, N – PE and L – L with 2-Pole Adapter Connection Select Measuring Function U Press the softkey shown at the left in order to switch back and forth between the country-specific plug insert, e.g. SCHUKO, and the 2-pole adapter. The selected connection type is displayed inversely (white on black).
6.2 3-Phase Measurement (line-to-line voltage) and Phase Sequence 7 Testing RCDs The testing of residual current devices (RCDs) includes: • Visual inspection • Testing • Measurement Use the test instrument for testing and measurement. Connection The measuring adapter (2-pole) is required in order to connect the instrument, and can be expanded to a 3-pole measuring adapter with the included measurement cable.
Test Standard The following must be substantiated per DIN VDE 0100 part 600: 2008: – Contact voltage occurring at nominal residual current may not exceed the maximum allowable value for the system. – Tripping of the RCCB must occur within 400 ms (1000 ms for selective RCDs) at nominal residual current. Important Notes • The PROFITEST MASTER allows for simple measurements at all types of RCDs. Select RCD, SRCD, PRCD etc.
1) Measuring Contact Current Without Tripping the RCD 2) Tripping Test after the Measurement of Contact Voltage Measuring Method ➭ Press the IN key. The instrument uses a measuring current of only 1/3 nominal residual current for the determination of contact voltage UIN which occurs at nominal residual current. This prevents tripping of the RCCB.
7.2 Special Testing for Systems and RCCBs 7.2.1 Testing Systems and RCCBs with Rising Residual Current (AC) for Type AC, A/F, B/B+ and EV RCDs Measuring Method Contact voltage: The instrument generates a continuously rising residual current of (0.3 to 1.3) IN within the system for the testing of RCDs. The instrument stores the contact voltage and tripping current values which were measured at the moment tripping of the RCCB occurred, and displays them.
7.2.3 Testing RCCBS with 5 IN The measurement of time to trip is performed here with 5 times nominal residual current. Note Measurements performed with 5 times nominal fault current are required for testing type S and G RCCBs in the manufacturing process. They are used for personal safety as well. Measurement can be started with the positive half-wave at “0°” or with the negative half-wave at “180°”. Both measurements must nevertheless be performed.
7.3 Tripping Test Testing for Special RCDs 7.3.1 System, Type RCD-S Selective RCCBs Selective RCDs are used in systems which include two series connected RCCBs which are not tripped simultaneously in the event of a fault. These selective RCDs demonstrate delayed response characteristics and are identified with the S symbol. Measuring Method The same measuring method is used as for standard RCCBs (see sections 7.1 on page 18 and 7.2.1 on page 20).
Measuring Method 7.3.3 SRCD, PRCD-S (SCHUKOMAT, SIDOS or comparable) The following can be measured, depending upon the measuring method: • Time to trip tA: tripping test with nominal residual current IN (The PRCD-K must be tripped at 50% nominal current.) • Tripping current I: testing with rising residual current IF RCCBs from the SCHUKOMAT SIDOS series, as well as others which are of identical electrical design, must be tested after selecting the corresponding parameter.
7.3.4 Type G or R RCCB In addition to standard RCCBs and selective RCDs, the special characteristics of the type G RCCB can also be tested with the test instrument. The type G RCCB is an Austrian specialty and complies with the ÖVE/ÖNORM E 8601 device standard. Erroneous tripping is minimized thanks to its greater current carrying capacity and shortterm delay.
7.4 Testing Residual Current Circuit Breakers in TN-S Systems Connection 7.5 Testing of RCD Protection in IT Systems with High Cable Capacitance (e.g. in Norway) The desired system type (TN/TT oder IT) can be selected for RCD test type UIN (IN, ta), and for earthing measurement (RE). A probe is absolutely essential for measurement in IT systems, because contact voltage UIN which occurs in these systems cannot otherwise be measured.
8 Testing of Breaking Requirements Overcurrent Protective Devices, Measurement of Loop Impedance and Determination of Short-Circuit Current (functions ZL-PE and IK) Testing of overcurrent protective devices includes visual inspection and measurement. Use the PROFITEST MASTER or SECULIFE IP to perform measurements.
8.1 Measurements with Suppression of RCD Tripping Start Measurement 8.1.1 Measurement with Positive Half-Waves (only MTECH+/MXTRA/SECULIFE IP) Measurement by means of half-waves plus direct current makes it possible to measure loop impedance in systems which are equipped with RCCBs.
The measured value can only be saved after it has been evaluated. 9 Measuring Line Impedance (ZL-N function) Measuring Method (internal line resistance measurement) Supply impedance ZL-N is measured by means of the same method used for loop impedance ZL-PE (see section 8 on page 26). However, the current loop is completed via neutral conductor N rather than protective conductor PE as is the case with loop impedance measurement. Select Measuring Function ZL-N Connection: Schuko / 3-Pole Adapter 8.
Start Measurement Polarity selection Semiautomatic measurement See also section 5.8 regarding the AUTO parameter. L-PE relationships are not possible here. The neutral L-N relationship is not offered during automatic sequencing to the right of the auto entry! Settings for Short-circuit current Calculation – Parameter IK IK Limit value: IK < limit value UL RL Short-circuit current IK is used to test shutdown by means of an overcurrent protective device.
10 Earthing Resistance Measurement (RE function) Earthing resistance RE is important for automatic shutdown in system segments. It must have a low value in order to assure that high short-circuit current flows and the system is shut down reliably by the RCCB in the event of a fault. Test Setup Earthing resistance (RE) is the sum of the earth electrode’s dissipation resistance and earth conductor resistance.

10.5 Earthing Resistance Measurement, Mains Powered – Measurement of Earth Electrode Voltage (UE function) PRO FITE ST P ter Wa Ri B E1 ipe E2 This measurement is only possible with a probe (see section 10.4). Earth electrode potential UE is the voltage which occurs at the earth electrode between the earth electrode terminal and reference earth if a short-circuit occurs between the phase conductor and the earth electrode.
10.6 Earthing Resistance Measurement, Mains Powered – Selective Earthing Resistance Measurement with Current Clamp Sensor as Accessory As an alternative to the conventional measuring method, measurement can also be performed with a current clamp sensor.
• • In order to prevent electric shock, keep the surface of the METRAFLEX clean and free of contamination. Before use, make sure that the flexible current sensor, the connector cable and the electronics housing are dry. Start Measurement In the event that you have changed the transformation ratio at the test instrument, a pop-up window appears indicating that this new setting also has to be entered to the connected current clamp sensor.
10.7 Earthing Resistance Measurement, Battery Operated – 3-Pole (only MPRO & MXTRA) 3-Wire Method Note The measurement cables must be well insulated in order to prevent shunting. In order to keep the influence of possible coupling to a minimum, the measurement cables should not cross each other or run parallel to each other over any considerable distance.
10.8 Earthing Resistance Measurement, Battery Operated – 4-Pole (only MPRO & MXTRA) 4-Wire Method Note The measurement cables must be well insulated in order to prevent shunting. In order to keep the influence of possible coupling to a minimum, the measurement cables should not cross each other or run parallel to each other over any considerable distance.
➭ Position the probe halfway between the earth electrode and the auxiliary earth electrode and determine earthing resistance. ➭ Reposition the probe 2 to 3 meters closer to the earth electrode, and then 2 to 3 meters closer to the auxiliary earth electrode and measure earthing resistance in each position. If all 3 measurements result in the same measured value, this is the correct earthing resistance. The probe is in the neutral zone.
10.9 Earthing Resistance Measurement, Battery Operated – Selective (4-pole) with Current Clamp Sensor and PRO-RE Measuring Adapter as Accessory (only MPRO & MXTRA) General Set Parameters at Tester PROFITEST MPRO, PROFITEST MXTRA q Measuring range: 200 Note After switching to selective measurement, the AUTO measuring range is activated automatically if a measuring range of greater than 200 had been selected.
10.10 Earthing Resistance Measurement, Battery Powered – Ground Loop Measurement (with current clamp sensor and transformer, plus PRO-RE/2 measuring adapter as accessory) (only MPRO & MXTRA) 2-Clamp Measuring Method PROFITEST MPRO, PROFITEST MXTRA ➭ Attach the 2 clamps to an earth electrode (earth spike) at different heights with a clearance of at least 30 cm.
10.11 Earthing Resistance Measurement, Battery Powered – Measurement of Soil Resistivity E (only MPRO & MXTRA) Select Measuring Function RE General H S ES E Select Operating Mode d d d Measurement of Soil Resistivity The determination of soil resistivity is necessary for the planning of earthing systems. Reliable values need to be ascertained which take even the worst possible conditions into account (see “Geologic Evaluation” on page 43).
Geologic Evaluation Calculating Dissipation Resistance Except in extreme cases, the ground is measured down to a depth which is roughly equal to probe distance d. This makes it possible to arrive at conclusions regarding the ground’s stratification by varying probe distance. Layers which are highly conductive (water table), into which earth electrodes should be installed, can thus be discovered within a region which is otherwise poorly conducting.
11 ! Measuring Insulation Resistance 2-pole meas. (relevant for report generating only): Measurements between Lx-PE / N-PE / L+N-PE / Lx-N / Lx-Ly / AUTO* where x, y = 1, 2, 3 Attention! Testing Systems with RCDs Insulation tests in electrical systems with type B RCDs may only be conducted while the RCDs are switched off.
• After briefly pressing the ON/START key, specified test voltage UN is read out and insulation resistance RISO is measured. As soon as the measured value is stable (settling time may be several seconds in the case of high cable capacitance values), measurement is ended and the last measured values for RISO and UISO are displayed. U is the voltage which is measured at the test probes during and after testing.
Special Condition for Insulation Resistance Measurement ! Attention! Test voltage: 50 V / 100 V / 250 V / 325 V / 500 V / 1000 V* Insulation resistance can only be measured at voltagefree objects. If measured insulation resistance is less than the selected limit value, the UL/RL LED lights up. If an interference voltage of 25 V is present within the system, insulation resistance is not measured. The MAINS/NETZ LED lights up and the “interference voltage” pop-up message appears.
12 Measuring Low-Value Resistance up to 200 Ohm (protective conductor and equipotential bonding conductor) According to the regulations, the measurement of low-value resistance at protective conductors, earth conductors or bonding conductors must be performed with (automatic) polarity reversal of the test voltage, or with current flow in one (+ pole to PE) and then the other direction (– pole to PE). ! Attention! Low-value resistance must only be measured at voltagefree objects.
12.1 Measurements with Constant Test Current Start Measurement Measuring Low-Value Resistance Measurement cable and 2-pole measuring adapter resistance is compensated for automatically thanks to the four conductor method and thus do not effect measurement results. However, if an extension cable is used its resistance must be measured and deducted from the measurement results.
12.2 Protective Conductor Resistance Measurement with Ramp Curve – Measurements on PRCDs with Current-monitored Protective Conductor Using PROFITEST PRCD Test Adapter as Accessory Application Connection In certain PRCD types, the protective conductor current is monitored. Direct application or disconnection of the test current of 200 mA, which is required for protective conductor resistance measurements, results in tripping of the PRCD and, consequently, a cut-off of the protective conductor connection.
13 Measurement with Accessory Sensors Set Parameters 13.1 Current Measurement with Current Clamp Sensor The transformation ratio parameter must be correspondingly set at the test instrument depending upon the respectively selected measuring range at the current clamp sensor. Bias, leakage and circulating current to 1 A, as well as leakage current to 1000 A can be measured with the help of special current clamp sensors, which are connected to sockets 15 and 16.
14 Special Functions – EXTRA Switch Position Selecting Special Functions The list of special functions is accessed by pressing the uppermost softkey. Select the desired function with the requested icon.
14.1 Voltage Drop Measurement (at ZLN) – U Function Significance and Display of U (per DIN VDE 100, part 600) Voltage drop from the intersection of the distribution network and the consumer system to the point of connection of an electrical power consumer (electrical outlet or device connector terminals) should not exceed 4% of nominal line voltage.
14.2 Measuring the Impedance of Insulating Floors and Walls (standing surface insulation impedance) – ZST Function Start Measurement Measuring Method The instrument measures the impedance between a weighted metal plate and earth. Line voltage available at the measuring site is used as an alternating voltage source. The ZST equivalent circuit is considered a parallel circuit.
14.3 Testing Meter Start-Up with Earthing Contact Plug – kWh Function (not SECULIFE IP) Save Measured Value Energy consumption meters can be tested for correct start-up with this function. Connection L – N Earthing contact plug Special Case Start-up of energy consumption meters which are connected between L and L or L and N can be tested with this function.
14.4 Leakage Current Measurement with PRO-AB Leakage Current Adapter as Accessory – IL Function (PROFITEST MXTRA & SECULIFE IP only) Applications Measuring Sequence Refer to the operating instructions for the PRO-AB leakage current measuring adapter regarding performance of the measurement.
14.5 Testing of Insulation Monitoring Devices – IMD Function (PROFITEST MXTRA & SECULIFE IP only) Set Limit Values for RL-PE as % Applications Insulation monitoring devices (IMDs) or earth fault detection systems (EDSs) are used in IT systems in order to monitor adherence to a minimum insulation resistance value, as specified by DIN VDE 0100-410.
Evaluation Retrieving Saved Measured Values In order to evaluate the measurement, it must be stopped. This applies to manual as well as automatic measurement. Press the “START” or “ESC” key to this end. The stopwatch is stopped and the evaluation window appears. The measured value cannot be saved to memory and included in the test report until it has been evaluated (see also section 16.4). OK NOT OK Press the “NOT OK”, “START” or “ESC” key in order to reject the measurement.
14.6 Residual Voltage Test – Ures Function (PROFITEST MXTRA only) Measuring Sequence – Long-Term Measurement Applications The EN 60204 standard specifies that after switching supply power off, residual voltage must drop to a value of 60 V or less within 5 seconds at all accessible, active components of a machine to which a voltage of greater that 60 V is applied during operation.
14.7 Intelligent Ramp – ta+I Function (PROFITEST MXTRA only) Start Contact Voltage Measurement 14.7.1 Applications The advantage of this measuring function in contrast to individual measurement of IN and tA is the simultaneous measurement of breaking time and breaking current by means of a test current which is increased in steps, during which the RCD is tripped only once.
14.8 Testing Residual Current Monitors – RCM Function (PROFITEST MXTRA only) Measure Contact Voltage General Residual current monitors (RCMs) monitor residual current in electrical systems and display it continuously. As is also the case with residual current devices, external switching devices can be controlled in order to shut down supply power in the event that a specified residual current value is exceeded.
14.9 Testing the Operating States of Electric Vehicles at Charging Stations per IEC 61851 (MTECH+ & MXTRA only) A charging station is an equipment designed for the charging of electric vehicles per IEC 61851which essentially consists of a plug connector, a cable protection, a residual current device (RCD), as well as a circuit breaker and a security communication system (PWM).

21.2 At which values should/must an RCD actually be tripped? Requirements for Residual Current Devices (RCDs) Set residual current type or waveform at the test instrument: General Requirements • Tripping must occur no later than upon occurrence of rated residual current (nominal differential current IN). and • Maximum time to trip may not be exceeded.
Tests for electrical systems include “visual inspection”, “testing” and “measurement”, and thus may only be conducted by experts with appropriate work experience. In the final analysis, the values from VDE 0664 are technically binding. Function Test The machine is operated with nominal voltage and tested for correct functioning, in particular with regard to safety functions. Special Tests 21.
