BENNING ST 750 A
4. Equipment Characteristics / Tests
The BENNING 750 A Appliance Tester can be used for the following tests:
Type of measurement in compliance with
Measurement of the protective conductor resistance with 0.2 A DC
(continuously) or with 10 A AC (temporarily for 5 sec). The measurement
is made between the protective conductor and all accessible conduc-
tive parts connected to the protective conductor (with automatic polarity
reversal in automatic mode!).
DIN VDE 0701-0702
DIN VDE 0751-1
Measurement of the insulating resistance L/N to PE with 500 V DC
(voltage is adjustable!); also insulating resistance between primary and
secondary side or active parts of devices with SELV / PELV voltages
as well as medical electrical devices with patient connections of ap-
plied parts.
DIN VDE 0701-0702
DIN VDE 0751-1
Measurement of the protective conductor current, (leakage cur-
rents), measurement of the protective conductor current and leakage
current for devices of protection classes I to II with accessible con-
ductive parts which are not connected to the protective conductor; by
means of the differential current, direct current or alternative leakage
current measurement method or with an external current measuring
clamp (with automatic polarity reversal in automatic mode!)
DIN VDE 0701-0702
Measurement of the contact current for devices of protection classes
I to II with accessible conductive parts which are not connected to the
protective conductor; by means of the differential current, direct current
or alternative leakage current measurement method or with external
current measuring clamp
DIN VDE 0701-0702
DIN VDE 0701-240
(previous VDE
regulation)
Measurement of the device leakage current (leakage currents), mea-
su rement of the protective conductor current and leakage current for
devices of protection classes I to II with accessible conductive parts
which are not connected to the protective conductor; device leakage
currents / leakage current for medical electrical devices of applied parts
of type B, BF and CF; by means of the direct current measurement or al-
ternative leakage current measurement method or with external current
measuring clamp (with automatic polarity reversal in automatic mode!)
DIN VDE 0751-1
Measurement of the patient leakage current (leakage current) for
medical electrical devices of applied parts of type B, BF and CF; by
means of the direct current measurement and alternative leakage cur-
rent measurement method.
DIN VDE 0751-1
Functional test after successful testing; indication of mains voltage and
current (differential current measurement), fault current, effective power
and apparent power.
DIN VDE 0701-0702
DIN VDE 0751-1
Cable test, continuity test, measurement of the line resistance of
connecting cables, extension cables and cable reels; the insulating re-
sistance between L/N to PE must be measured separately!
