system and a remote auxiliary electrode. To measure the earth resistance, CPC 100
injects AC current between the substation’s ground system and a temporary remote
auxiliary electrode. A second auxiliary electrode is used to measure the voltage potential
across the substation’s earth resistance.
Note: Make sure not to position the auxiliary electrode U too close to the substation’s
ground system. If you do so, you measure in a range where the earth resistance
may not be linear (see figure below).
We suggest to test several points using a longer distance to the substation
ground. That way you get a better understanding of where the linear range of
the earth resistance lies, and where the measurements are reliable.

(see page CP TD1-6).
If you experience substantial deviations, re-calibrate CP TD1:
• Cx = Cref / Cmeas and
• DF/PF + = DFref - DFmeas
as described on page CP TD1-6.
A re-calibration of CP TD1 is also shown in the test report (.xml file).
Note: If you change the factory-made calibration, the responsibility for the accuracy
of CP TD1 will be in your hands.
Calibration tips:
• For calibration set the averaging factor to maximum and the filter bandwidth to ± 5Hz
(refer to page CP TD1-5).
• To reset to the factory settings, select "DF/PF+" to 0.0 ppm and "Cx" to 1.000

Measurement Setup Configuring CPC 100 Connecting CPC 100 and CP CU1 to Power Lines
CPC 100 must be configured for CP CU1. To configure CPC 100: Safety Instructions
1. Press the Options view selector button to open the Options window.
A lightning discharge to the line under test can cause injury or possibly
death of the operating staff. Do not connect the measurement setup to
overhead lines if there is a possibility of a thunderstorm over any part
of the lines to be measured.
Dangerous zone
During the grounding switch at the near end of the power line is open,
the area around CP GB1 in the range of 5 m/15 ft and around CP CU1 in
the range of 2 m/5 ft is a dangerous zone due to high-voltage and
V1 AC I AC I AC V1 AC CP GB1 mechanical hazards. Do not enter the dangerous zone. Keep the

2. In the External booster combo box, select CU1.
The CT and VT settings are set according to the built-in current and voltage

3. Set the current range of CP CU1 using the current range switch (see page CP CU1-2)
to the value configured by the CPC 100 software.
Set the current range switch on the CP CU1 front panel only when
CPC 100 is turned off and the test object is connected to ground with
