voltage socket. Connect the IEC cord to the
instrument´s MAINS terminal and PRCD (see figure
5.36b). Or connect tested PRCD between test socket
and IEC connector of the DeltaPAT Connect the
instrument to mains voltage (see figure 5.36c).
Depending on the type of PRCD, it may be
necessary to manually switch it on.
RCD: Connect the DeltaPAT MAINS terminal to
mains socket protected by tested RCD (see figure
5.36a).

Notes:
Consider any displayed warning before starting measurement!
Mains voltage is applied to the (P)RCD under test. Do not touch the equipment
under test or the test cord during the test.
5.2.11 Power test
The DUT’s power consumption is measured in this test. The apparent power is a useful
indication of proper operation of the appliance.
