1 Safety

ERP-1 adapter is designed to adapt MRU meters (manufactured by Sonel SA) for the measure-

ments of earth resistance of various objects e.g. power pillars, using flexible clamps (Rogowski coil).

The adapter is designed to work with earth resistance meters that provide the user with a choice of

performing the measurement using 3-wire method with measurement clamps. In order to ensure correct

operation, the following recommendations must be observed:

Before you proceed to operate the adapter, acquaint yourself thoroughly with this manual and ob-

serve the safety regulations and specifications provided by the producer.

Any application that differs from those specified in the present manual may result in a damage to

the adapter and constitute a source of danger for the user.

The Adapter should be operated only by suitably qualified persons having the necessary permis-

sions to carry out measurements on electrical systems. Operating the Adapter by unauthorised

personnel may result in damage to the device and constitute a source of danger for the user.

Using this manual does not exclude the need to comply with occupational health and safety regu-

lations and with other relevant fire regulations required during the performance of a particular type

of work. Beforestarting the work with the device in special environments, e.g. potentiallyfire-risk/ex-

plosive environment, it is necessary to consult it with the person responsible for health and safety.

It is unacceptable to operate the device when:

it is damaged and completely or partially out of order,

its cords and cables have damaged insulation,

it has been stored for an excessive period of time in disadvantageous conditions (e.g. excessive

humidity). After moving the device from a cool to a warm place with a high level of relative

humidity, do not start measurements until the device is warmed up to the ambient tem-

perature (approximately 30 minutes).

Do not operate the adapter with an open or incorrectly closed battery (accumulator) compartment

or power it from other sources than those specified in the present manual.

Repairs may be performed only by an authorised service point.

The device meets the requirements of EN 61010-1.

Note:

The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce changes in the design, accessories and

technical data of the adapter.

Note:

ERP-1 Adapter is not a stand-alone measuring device. This is an accessory designed to

work with earth resistance meters of MRU series manufactured by SONEL SA.

3 Measurements

NOTE: Before the measurement arrange the spacing of the electrodes and the test leads taking into

account considerable distances. In case of truss structures, the distance between the legs at their base

may exceed a few meters. The spot of connecting the meter to the structure with a cable from terminal

E, should be free of dirt and contaminants such as paint, rust, etc., as they may affect the measurement

result.

1. Turn the adapter ON by pressing button.

2. LED will light up for 5 seconds indicating the stabilization process of the measuring

system.

3. LED will turn off and at the same time LEDs for selecting clamps and indicating the

number of wraps around the structure leg will light up: and .

4. Connect theadapter to MRUmeter usingthe cable (length: 2m) comingout from theterminal

marked with letters . This cable is an integral part of ERP-1 adapter.

5. Connect flexible clamps (Rogowski coil) to the adapter using the cable coming out from the

terminal marked with symbol .

6. Press button on the adapter to select the type of flexible clamps - follow the labelling on

the clamps.

7. Press button on the adapter to specify the number of clamp wraps around the leg of the

structure/object.

8. On the MRU meter select the measurement method as 3p+clamps, setting the rotational

function selector in the position shown here: .

9. Flexible clamps connected to ERP-1 adapter should be wrapped around the leg of the

structure and around the steel strip (hoop) - if present - below the connecting point of cable

E to the structure leg. (Remember that flexible clamps should not be placed directly onto the

test leads as their interference may impact the measurement results). Wrap the clamps as

many times as its possible due to their length (max 4 times).

Note:

When wrapping the clamps around the leg of the tested structure, remember

that the arrow stamped on clamps (indicating the direction of current flow)

should be downward (indicating the ground).

10. Trigger the measurement on MRU meter by pressing START button, after selecting the

measuring voltage and frequency of the tested network.

11. After completing themeasurement on the first leg of the structure/object (when there is more

than one leg), proceed to perform similar measurement on the next leg.

12. After obtaining the results of earth resistance for each leg, calculate the resultant resistance

of the whole structure, using the following formula:

OPERATING MANUAL ERP-1 version 1.5

...





, [1]

where:

RE–resultant resistance of the object,

R1–resistance of the first leg of the object,

Rn–resistance of the last leg of the object,

n –number of legs of the object.

Note:

In case of measurements on a damaged structure or on a structure with defective

grounding system, the result calculated with the above formula [1] maybe burdened with

a considerable error.

IE1…IE4 –current flowing to the ground through the individual legs of the pole

IS–current flowing upwards to the lightning protection wire

E, S, H –markings on the meter sockets

clamps and MRU-200 meter.

OPERATING MANUAL ERP-1 version 1.5

Note:

Before using FLEX clamps for the first time, they should be calibrated according to the

description included in the operating instructions of MRU earth resistance meter. Repeat

the procedure each time you change the clamps. It is recommended to perform the cali-

bration every time the clamp type is changed. The number of wraps (coils) of clamps

around the leg of the pole during the measurement should be identical to the number of

wraps used during their calibration. This will ensure using the appropriate calibration

factor during the measurements.

APPENDIX for MRU-200 and MRU-200-GPS METERS

As additional functions are available in MRU-200 and MRU-200-GPS meters (measurements with flex-

ible clamps), the manufacturer provided an additional option for automatic calculation of the resultant

resistance of the measurement system. Please upgrade your MRU-200/MRU-200-GPS meter to the

latest software version, available at: www.sonel.pl/pl/pobierz/firmware.html.

a) After selecting 3P+clamps, the following screen is displayed:

b) After pressing F2 button, the window for selecting clamps is shown. You may select between

hard clams (C-3) and ERP-1 adapter by operating buttons , . Accept your choice by press-

ing ENTER. Exit without saving the change by pressing ESC.

c) After pressing F3 you may select the number of legs of the tested structure/object using buttons

, . Accept your choice by pressing ENTER. Exit without saving the change by pressing

ESC.

OPERATING MANUAL ERP-1 version 1.5

d) After selecting an object with four legs the following screen is shown. After connecting the

clamps to ERP-1 adapter and connecting the adapter to the meter; when the number of wraps

and type of clamps are set, the right side of the screen will show the following values: UN–

interference voltage, fN–interference frequency and IL–leakage current:

e) Press START button to display the following screen. Follow the command on the screen and

fix the clamps to the first leg (if not already done). The measurement will be triggered by press-

ing again START button.

f) This screen is shown for 5 seconds from the moment of displaying calculated R1value, then

screen "before the second measurement" will be shown. You may recall the last measurement

result by pressing ENTER (the screen with the first measurement is shown for 5 seconds).
