Measuring Earthing Impedance with 55 Hz (R*)
For the calculation of short circuit currents in power supply plants, the complex earthing
impedance is important. Direct measurement is possible under the following conditions:
Phase angle at 50 Hz: 30 °... 60 ° inductive
Auxiliary earth electrode (ohmic): >100 • Z
E
Measuring process:
The measurement of the earthing impedance (R*) is only possible if it is activated by
putting in a personalized user's code (see "Change of Setup Data with Personalized
Code"). If this measuring function is activated, in every measurement of the four R
E
positions, the earthing impedance R* is displayed before all other measured values.
Clip-On Transformer Errors Correction
If the measurement of an earthing resistance by means of a clip-on transformer results in
a significantly different value as if measured without the clip-on, the deviation may be due
to the tolerances of the clip-on current transformer. This error can be corrected by fine
tuning the clip-on transformation ratio (basic settings 1000:1). This correction applies to
the transformer current range it was performed with. For other ranges a different
correction may be necessary.
1. Connect a low Ohm resistor (approximately 1 Ohm - in the range you want to correct)
as shown in Figure 8.
