16. PRACTICAL REPORTS FOR ELECTRICAL TESTS
16.1. Continuity Test On Protective Conductors
PURPOSE OF THE TEST
Check the continuity of:
protective conductors (PE), main equalising potential
conductors
(EQP),
secondary
equalising
potential
conductors (EQS) in TT and TN-S systems.
neutral conductors having functions of protective
conductors (PEN) in TN-C system.
NOTE: This test is to be preceded by a visual check verifying the existence of yellow-
green protective and equalizing potential conductors as well as compliance of
the sections used with the standards’ requirements.
INSTALLATION PARTS TO BE CHECKED

Examples for continuity measurement on conductors
Connect one of the
test lead to the
external mass (in
this case the water
pipe) and the other
to
the
earth
installation
using
for
example the
protective
conductor of the
closest FM socket.
Connect one of the
test lead to the
protective
conductor of the
FM socket and the
other
to
the
equalizing potential
node of the earth
installation.
