the phase conductor only (not the neutral) to the protective conductor. This
is,
of course, the actual path taken by the fault current.
A typical circuit for an EFLI test is shown in Fig. 11.8. The mains supply
must be connected for this test. Tests at lighting outlets are similar to the test
shown for bonded metalwork, the test lead being connected to the metalwork
of the luminaire, when applicable, or other suitable point.
Earth electrode resistance
The test can be made either with current at power frequency supplied from
the mains via a double-wound transformer, or with alternating current fro
