Once the inverter has been connected, switch it back on. The inverter must be feeding en-
ergy during the measurement to avoid unreliable results.
Only the leakage currents that occur at grid frequency may be included (50–60 Hz function
of ammeter). High-frequency leakage currents distort the measurement results *).

There are two methods that may be used to measure the ground conductor current:
-
-
The measurement can be taken on the inverter (loop outside the device) or in the distribu-
tor. When taking the measurement in the distributor, ensure that there are no live conduc-
tors in the immediate vicinity and that no other consumers are connected to the same
circuit.

The resistance must not exceed 0.3  *)
Only perform the measurement if a ground conductor resistance test has been carried
out successfully
Direct Method: The device must be isolated from the ground. No other connections to
the earth potential are permitted (e.g. data cables, fitting, etc.)
Remove conductive objects from the housing
Mount missing housing parts.
WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. During the measurement, there are
voltages at the inverter.
Direct Method: Device must be completely isolated and must not exhibit any links to
another earth potential
Differential current method:
Example: Measurement of the ground conductor re-
sistance
(A) – release on power module lid
- If necessary, the mounting bracket must be lightly
scratched in order to penetrate the Eloxal or powder
layer
