Checking the Earth Leakage Breakers

This section explains how to check the earth leakage breakers.

WARNING


  • Do not turn the earth leakage breakers from the Off to the On position. Otherwise it might lead to an electric shock, or cause the circuit breakers to trip.

Important

  • If the earth leakage breakers are not functioning normally, contact your sales or service representative.

Some options are equipped with earth leakage breakers. For details about where they are located, see “Guide to Components”.
