8.2.4.1 - PROSPECTIVE HAZARD CURRENT

For routine testing, the PHC under normal conditions of operation shall be verified by applying the following process to each transformer Line Isolation Overload Monitor (LIOM): (a) All electrical equipment are disconnected from the supply. (b) The current flowing through a low impedance ammeter connected between one isolated supply conductor and earth is noted. The test is repeated for the other isolated supply conductor. The larger of the noted values is the prospective hazard current. It shall be less than 2 mA. (c) The prospective hazard current of the supply is recorded in the commissioning checklist.

Confirm that the hazard current is below 2.00 mA
