4 Measurement with Test Instruments
The test adapter must remain connected to
the mains for protective conductor measure-
ments (RPE) at mode 2 charging cables by
means of the respective test instrument.
The test adapter can remain connected to
the mains for protective conductor measure-
ments conducted at test objects whose pro-
tective conductor is not switched, as well as
for insulation measurements (Riso) with the
respective test instrument.
4.1 Measuring Protective Conductor
Resistance (Rlo)
4.1.1 Mode 2 Charging Cable
As opposed to the usual default setting for
low-resistance measurements, the device
under test does not have to be disconnected
from all sources of voltage in this case. Both
rotary selector switches (S1 and S2) have to be
set to the
ON
and the
Status C
positions, in
order to be able to activate the test object and
switch the protective conductor through. Prior
to a protective conductor resistance measure-
ment, an offset measurement must be per-
formed (the offset value of the test adapter
must be taken into account during the test).
➭Connect the test object as described in
section 3.3.
➭Connect the test object to the ICCB-IN1
PE and ICCB-OUT1 PE sockets.

➭Perform the measurement as described
in the operating instructions for the re-
spective test instrument.
4.1.2 Mode 3 Charging Cable
➭
The rotary selector switch must be set to
the
RISO
position
.
➭Connect the
test object
as described in
section 3.3.
➭Connect the test object to the ICCB-IN1
PE and ICCB-OUT1 PE sockets.

4.2 Measuring Insulation Resistance
(RISO)
The top rotary selector switch must
be set to the mains disconnect posi-
tion: RISO.
➭In order to perform the insulation mea-
surement (Riso), connect the test instru-
ment to the ICCB-IN1 socket for the
mains-end of the cable and the ICCB-
OUT1 socket for the output end of the
cable under test.
