Contact current The following points must be observed during the contact current measurement:
- Do not perform the measurement until the ground conductor current measurement
has been carried out successfully
- The device must be in charge mode
The measurement is taken between an earthed point and the touchable, conductive com-
ponents that are not connected to the ground conductor.
If the device is equipped with a non-polarised mains plug (earthed plug), perform the test
in both positions.
The contact current must not exceed 0.5 mA.
