USER MANUAL
 G SAFETY WARNINGS

n Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is used. They must be observed during use.
n Continuity of protective conductors and earthed equipotential bonding of new or modified installations must be verified before carrying out RCD tests.
n Do not leave the instrument connected to the mains supply when not in use.
n Circuit connections and exposed metalwork of an installation or equipment under test must not be touched.
n Ensure that hands remain behind guards of probes/clips when testing.
n Do not move the rotary selector knob position while a test is in progress.
n The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.
n Test leads, probes and crocodile clips must be in good order, clean and with no broken or cracked insulation.
n The battery cover must be in place whilst conducting tests.
n Voltage indicator LED’s cannot reveal a N-PE supply reversal.

NOTE
THE INSTRUMENT MUST ONLY BE USED BY SUITABLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT PERSONS.
Users of this equipment and/or their employers are reminded that Health and Safety Legislation requires them to carry out valid risk assessments of all
electrical work so as to identify potential sources of electrical danger and risk of electrical injury such as inadvertent short circuits.

Some national safety authorities recommend fused leads for voltage measurement on high energy systems. If RCD or Loop tests are made it may cause the
fuse to rupture, and so they must be used with caution on voltage testing.

PREPARATIONS FOR USE (ALL INSTRUMENTS) GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Batteries Test inhibit

The Megger RCDT300 series instruments are supplied with batteries fitted. The following condition may cause the instrument to inhibit testing:
When batteries become exhausted, refer to page 17, battery replacement.
Out of range supply voltage
Warning: Do not switch the instrument on with the battery cover
If an out of range voltage or frequency exists on the circuit under test,
removed.
or on a very noisy mains supply, testing will be automatically inhibited.

The RCD tests requires a minimum supply voltage to operate.

Preliminary test lead check
Functional verification If the warning <***V is displayed, the supply voltage is below that
required to perform an RCD test.
Before each use of the instrument, visually inspect the test leads, prods

and crocodile clips to confirm that their condition is good, with no
damaged or broken insulation. Overheating
Repetitive RCD Ramp testing and some high current RCD trip testing
generates heat within the instrument. If this heat becomes excessive
the instrument will warn the operator by displaying the hot symbol,
and prevent further testing until the instrument has had a chance to
cool down.

Fuse Blown
A fuse blown will prevent the instrument from making further tests.
The fuse indicator will be displayed.

Default voltmeter
The default voltmeter automatically operates in all test modes, indicating
connection to a live system.

Auto power-down
To extend battery life the instrument will automatically switch off six
minutes after the last operation.

It can be switched off manually by selecting [OFF] with the rotary switch,

 VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

Possible sources of error NOTE: Measured voltage should not exceed 300 V phase to earth.

Measurement results can be affected by the following:

To measure the voltage of the electrical supply:
1. Significant operating errors can occur if loads, particularly rotating
machinery and capacitive loads are left connected during tests. 1. Set the instrument to the [V] range.

2 A poor connection to the circuit under test. 2. Connect the GREEN OR (L0) lead to the protective Earth (PE) and the
RED or (L1) lead to the phase to be measured. (Alternatively connect
the mains plug test lead to a suitable mains outlet).
3. The instrument will display the Phase to Earth voltage.

Touch Voltage
On all Megger RCDT300 series testers, the touch voltage is calculated at
the start of an RCD test to ensure it will remain below the safe 25 V or 50 V
limit as required by the application.

On the RCDT300 series instruments the touch voltage limit can be

switched from 50 V to 25 V as the application demands.

Should the touch voltage calculation identify a higher touch voltage than
that permitted, the RCD tester will stop the test, thus preventing the
presence of an unsafe voltage on the earth during the test, should the test
have taken place.

For those customers that require the touch voltage to be displayed, this
can be displayed by activating the analogue arc display, as described in the
instrument set-up procedure.

Once activated the touch voltage will be displayed on an RCD test, even if
the voltage is below the permitted limits.
