- measurement of the fault loop impedance (Zs).
Exception: Where the calculations of the fault loop impedance or of the resistance of the protective conductors are available and when the arrangement of the installations permits the verification of the length and cross-sectional area of the conductors, verification of the continuity of the protective conductors may replace the measurement.
A.4.2 Measurement of the fault loop impedance
Measurement of the fault loop impedance shall be performed using measuring equipment that complies with IEC 61557-3. The information about the accuracy of the measuring results, and the procedures to be followed given in the documentation of the measuring equipment shall be considered.
Measurement shall be performed when the machine is connected to a supply having the same frequency as the nominal frequency of the supply at the intended installation.
NOTE Figure A.1 illustrates a typical arrangement for measuring the fault loop impedance on a machine. If it is not practicable for the motor to be connected during the test, the two phase conductors not used in the test can be opened, for example, by removing fuses.
The measured value of the fault loop impedance shall comply with A.2.
A.4.3 Consideration of the difference between the measured value of resistance of
the conductors and the actual value under fault conditions
NOTE As the measurements are made at ambient temperature, with low currents, it is necessary to take into account the increase of resistance of the conductors with the increase of temperature under fault conditions, to verify the compliance of the measured value of the fault loop impedance with the requirements of Clause A.2.
The increase of resistance of the conductors with the increase of temperature due to the fault current is taken into account in the following equation:
° 7a
where Zs(m) is the measured value of Zs.
Where the measured value of the fault loop impedance exceeds 2t/0/3Za , a more precise assessment can be made in accordance with the procedure described in C.61.3.6.2 of IEC 60364-6:2006.
