Key:
a) The measuring uncertainties specified here for fault loop impedance, line imped- ance and short-circuit current are only valid if line voltage is stable during measure- ment and if no other electrical circuits parallel to the measured circuit are in use.
c) rdg. means reading, i.e. measured value, d = digits (i.e. number of the decimal    place with the least significance)
