Chapter 10 Care & Maintenance 10 - 11
10-6-3 Leakage Current Limits
In accordance with these standards, fault conditions like Reverse Polarity of the supply mains and Open
Neutral are no longer required for field evaluation of leakage current. Because the main source of
leakage current is the mains supply, there are different acceptance limits depending on the
configuration of the mains (100-120 or 230-240).
Per IEC 60601-1 section 4.7
Single fault Condition for Medical Equipment (ME EQUIPMENT) shall be so designed and
manufactured that it remains SINGLE FAULT SAFE, or the RISK remains acceptable as determined
through application of 4.2.
- Sub clause 4.7 – SINGLE FAULT CONDTION for ME EQUIPMENT.
(1) UL standard
(2) IEC60601 Second Edition
(3) IEC60601 Third Edition
Compare all safety-test results with safety-test results of previously performed safety tests (e.g.
last year etc). In case of unexplainable abrupt changes of safety-test results consult
experienced authorized service personnel or GE for further analysis.
