Erdschlussprüfgerät
An Erdschlussprüfgerät, also known as an earth leakage tester or ground fault detector, is an electrical safety device used to detect and locate insulation faults to earth in electrical systems. Its primary function is to identify unintended conductive paths between live conductors and the protective earth conductor. This is crucial for preventing electric shock and fire hazards.
These devices operate by injecting a low-frequency test current into the system and measuring the resulting
Regular testing with an Erdschlussprüfgerät is a standard practice in industrial settings, commercial buildings, and even
