ES601Plus OPERATING MANUAL
By providing multiple measurement and point-to-point test modes, ES601Plus accommodates special test
requirements of permanently-installed equipment, and manufacturer-recommended protocols where
continuity of protective earth must be verified at several locations on the equipment. Multiple resistance
measurements and point-to-point testing can be enabled for manual tests or automated test sequences, and
with 1A or 25A test current for units equipped with PETM option.

2.1.3 Line Voltage
In this test, ES601Plus connects an internal voltmeter to the AC supply input and reports the AC RMS
voltages measured between L1 and L2, L1 and PE, and L2 and PE.
2.1.4 Load Current
To perform this measurement, ES601Plus connects an internal ammeter to the DUT and measures the
current it draws from the AC line when the DUT is powered up and running.
2.1.5 Leakage Current
Different safety standards require different types of leakage measurements to be performed. ES601Plus
focuses on medical device testing and implements the four general types of leakage measurement specified
in the IEC60601 and AAMI-ES1 standards. The alternative leakage measurements and the direct leakage
measurements of the VDE0751 and IEC62353 safety standards are also provided. ES601Plus can also
perform a leakage test according to the IEC61010 standard for laboratory instruments.
In all, ES601Plus incorporates measurements encompassing the requirements of nine different electrical
safety standards used worldwide.
In accordance with the IEC60601 and AAMI-ES1 safety standards, the types of leakage measurement
performed by ES601Plus are:
