Mortal danger if safe isolation from supply is verified incorrectly!

A Verify the perfect function of the voltage indicator and the coupling section in accordance
with national standards

-

with a test unit according to IEC 61243-5/EN 61243-5

on all poles

Use only voltageindicators or devices according to EN 61 243-5/IEC 61 243-5

VDE 0682-415 to test the function of the coupling section. (The interface conditions have
not changed as against the old standard VDE 0681 Part 7; the corresponding indicators can
still be used.)
Perform repeat test of interface conditions at the capacitive interfaces, as well as on the
indicators according to the customer's specifications or national standards.
D o not use short-circuiting jumpers as separate plugs. The function of the surge arrester
installed is not guaranteed anymore if short-circuiting jumpers are used

Safe isolation from supply can be verified either with an HR or LRM voltage indicator or
