line-to-line impedance in a 3-phase system, connect the leads to 2 phases.

Figure 16. RCD Tripping Time Display/Switch and Terminal Settings
In this test, a calibrated fault current is induced into the circuit, causing the RCD to trip. The
meter measures and displays the time required for the RCD to trip. You can perform this test
with test leads or using the mains cord. The test is performed with a live circuit.
You can also use the tester to perform the RCD tripping time test in Auto mode, which
makes it easier for one person to perform the test.
Note: When measuring trip time for any type of RCD, the tester first does a pretest to
determine if the actual test will cause a fault voltage exceeding the limit (25 or 50 V).
To avoid having an inaccurate trip time for S type (time delay) RCDs, a 30 second delay is
activated between the pretest and the actual test. This RCD type needs a delay because it
contains RC circuits that are required to settle before applying the full test.
