10.4a Protective conductor current (substitute leakage current)
The limit value is:
3.5 mA (PC I)
In the case of devices with heating elements with a total capacity
greater than 3.5 kW, the protective conductor current may not be
greater than 1 mA/kW heat output.
The [OK] button takes you further to the measuring display ‘Protective
conductor current’ (according to the substitute leakage current principle).
Here, too, the related limit value is displayed beside the measured value
(Fig. 20).
Warning!
With the test procedure according to DIN VDE 0702 and a test with
insulation resistance, the protective conductor current is
always measured by the tester with connection to the mains
voltage (direct method or according to the differential current
principle).

10.4b Protective conductor current (compare with Point 10.4a)
The limit value is:
3.5 mA (PC I)
In the case of devices with heating elements with a total capacity
greater than 3.5 kW, the protective conductor current may not be
greater than 1 mA/kW heat output.
If you have selected a test procedure without insulation resistance in the
‘Settings for measuring’, the tester changes to measuring the protective
conductor current (Points 3. – Insulation resistance and 4a. – Substitute
leakage current, are omitted).
Caution! The test object is supplied with mains voltage
during the test.
After pressing the [OK] button you will see a warning about connection to
the mains current (Fig. 21).
