Q: Can you measure current using the PESD Safeside voltage test station?

A: You cannot measure current on a voltage test station. A multimeter is used in a Live-dead-live test to check for the absence of voltage. The PESD (Parallel Earth and Shorting Device) is wired in parallel with each line, with a predetermined resistivity such as 102kΩ, providing high impedance. The PESD is designed to use only the necessary current for its operation, typically a few mA. Therefore, the test station cannot be used to measure the current between the line-in and the load.
