Loop Impedance (Z S ) And Line Impedance (Z I ); Measurement With High Test Current (High Current); Measuring With A Low Testing Current (No-Trip) - Benning IT 105 Notice D'emploi

8.5 Loop impedance (Z
Measurement requires correct connection of the mains voltage to the BENNING IT 105 as

shown in figures 4, 5 or 6. The mains voltage indicator must light permanently:
If the mains voltage indicator flashes, check the measuring leads for correct connection or turn the shock-
proof plug of the test cable by 180°.

be interrupted.
- Select the desired function Z
- The symbols of the function keys F1 A to F4 D are briefly shown on the digital display 2 . You can
use the function keys F1 to F4 3 to make the following settings:

AUTO start (F4):
With the Auto start function being enabled, measurement will be started 4 seconds after the BENNING IT 105
has been connected to the mains voltage. Press the function key F4 3 again to disable the function.
- Connect the measuring leads to the BENNING IT 105 as shown in figures 4, 5 or 6 and apply them to
the test object.
- Press the TEST key 4 to start the measurement.
- The main display K shows the loop impedance (Z
shows the prospective fault current (PFC)/short-circuit current (PSC).
Note:
For measuring the loop impedance Zs (L-PE) on three-phase loads without neutral conductor (e. g.
motors), the green measuring lead jack PE/L2 6 and the blue measuring lead jack N/L3 7 can be bridged
via the blue 4 mm adapter.
The measurement of the line impedance Z

them to the test object. If the green measuring lead socket PE 6 is not connected to ground PE of the
test object, after pressing the TEST key 4 the symbol "NO-E" is displayed in the digital display 2 and the
measurement is blocked.
