Example:
Your clip-on transformer has a transformation ratio of tr = 1000:1. The meas-
urement without clip-on transformer results in a value R
E
= 0.983 Ω . With a
clip-on transformer a value of R
E
= 1.175 Ω is measured.
The deviation thus reads (1.175 - 0.983) Ω= + 0.192 Ω and referring to R
E
=
0.983 Ω an error evolves as following:
%5.19
983.0
192.0

The new transformation ratio to be set calculates:

Compensation of Earth Electrode Connecting Lead
If the line resistance to the earth electrode can not be ignored, a compensation
of the connecting lead resistance to the earth electrode is possible. Proceed as
