In this case the protective conductor resistance in the normal operating condition to all
conductive touchable parts of the system must be measured.
Make sure that control cables or data cables between the components of the system do
not imitate any protective conductor connection.
During the measurement, move the power cable and additional connection cables with
integrated protective conductor section by section to detect cable breaks.
The protective conductor resistance must not exceed 0.2 Ohms.
The values must be recorded as initial measurements in the report ’Protective conductor
resistance / report’ stating the measuring points.
Document the measuring procedure and the measuring instrument used (designation
and serial number).

Notes on device leakage current measurement 1
Observe the instructions in the safety rules for installation and repair (ARTD-002.731.17).
Initial measurement
Perform the device leakage current measurement after completion of all work.
Perform the measurement according to DIN VDE 0751, Part 1 (see ARTD-002.731.17...),
and record the determined value as the first measured value.
Measurement of the device leakage current according to the differential current method
(measuring arrangement according to Fig. 2) must be given preference, since no danger
for the person performing the measurement and other persons arises during the measure-
ment.
However, please note the minimum resolution of the leakage current measuring instru-
ment and any additional manufacturer's data restricting the use of the measuring instru-
ment.
If the direct measurement of the device leakage current is used
(measuring arrangement according to Fig. 3), then the system must be set up insulated
during the measurement and must not be touched during the measurement.
Electrical voltage!
Non-compliance can lead to severe injuries and even death.
The device leakage current measurement may be
performed on systems of protection class I only after the
protective conductor test has been passed.

The system must be switched on during the measurement. Measuring instruments with
automated measuring sequences must therefore be set to manual measurement.
Enter the highest value as first measured value in the report ’Device leakage current /
report’.
This value must not exceed the permissible leakage current values according to
DIN VDE 0751-1:2001-10, Table F.1, line "Device leakage current for devices according to
remarks 1 and 3", of 2.5 mA.
Measure and record the current line voltage. If the measured line voltage deviates from
the nominal voltage, then correct the measured value to the value corresponding to a
measurement at the nominal value of the line voltage. Document this in addition.
Document the measuring procedure (differential measurement or direct measurement)
and the measuring instrument used (designation and serial number).
Repeat measurement
When service or repair work is performed on the primary power supply circuit (e.g. repairs
to the power-on circuit or replacement of the line filter), the device leakage current test
must be repeated.
The same measuring conditions as in the first measurement apply.
