Resistance values of the protective conductor depending on length and cross-section
-
After the R
test has been passed, the measurement of the insulating resistance is carried
PE
out automatically.

-
After the R
test has been passed, the external conductor (L) and the neutral conductor
ISO
(N) are checked for line breaks and short-circuits. A passed test regarding line breaks and
short-circuits is indicated by a
-
The "PASS" symbol confirms successful testing of the entire testing procedure.
-
If the test regarding line breaks and short-circuits has failed, one of the following symbols is
indicated instead of the "GOOd" symbol:
-
"OPEN" symbol:
confirms a line break of the external conductor (L) or neutral conductor (N)
-
"Short" symbol:
confirms a short-circuit between the external conductor (L) and the neutral conductor (N)
See figure 5a: Testing of device connecting cables with IEC connector
Note on measuring the protective conductor resistance:
-
Alternatively, the measurement of the protective conductor resistance R
out as permanent measurement (max. 3 minutes). For this purpose press the key 2 for
approx. > 5 sec. until the symbol appears on the display. Check the connecting line of the
test object by bending it over the entire length in order to detect weak points or a break of
the protective conductor. The BENNING ST 710 continuously records the current measured
value on the display and stores the maximum value in the memory. By pressing the key
4 again, the measurement is carried out with reversed polarity. Press the key 4 again to
indicate the maximum value of R
described in section 8.2.3.1.
8.2.3.2 Testing of cable reels, multiple distributors and extension cables
-
Connect the IEC power cord (IEC adapter cable) included in the scope of delivery to the IEC
connector 7 of the BENNING ST 710.
-
Connect the line to be tested to the test socket 1 and to the shock-proof socket of the IEC
power cord.
-
Press the key 4 to start the automatic testing procedure.
-
The further testing procedure corresponds to the testing procedure described in section
8.2.3.1.
See figure 5b: Testing of lines, multiple distributors and cable reels
8.3 Voltage measurement on external shock-proof socket
-
Connect the IEC power cord (IEC adapter cable) to the IEC connector 7 of the
BENNING ST 710.
-
Connect the shock-proof plug to the shock-proof socket to be tested. With the mains voltage
being applied, the voltage measurement will start automatically.
-
Depending on the external conductor position (right or left) of the shock-proof socket, the
voltage potentials between the connecting terminals L, N and PE are indicated.
