Alternative Measuring Method (equivalent leakage current)
– Alternative measurement type (P1)
– DUT mains plug to test socket
– Test probe P1 to P1 terminals
Schematic Diagram
After activating test voltage, leakage current is measured between
short-circuited mains conductors L and N (DUT mains plug) and
accessible conductive parts (probe contact). The RMS, the AC or
the DC component of the current is measured.

Direct Measuring Method for Permanently Installed DUTs
– Permanent connection measurement type
– Test probe P1 to P1 terminals
Schematic Diagram
The DUT is operated with line voltage from a permanent installa-
tion. Leakage current is measured between the protective con-
ductor at the mains and the output sockets for safety extra-low
voltage at the DUT, one after the other, with the help of the test
probe. Furthermore, accessible, conductive parts which are not
connected to the housing must also be contacted.
Wiring Diagram
Alternative measuring method with 2-pole measurement (P1–P2)
– Alternative measurement type (P1 - P2)
– Test probe P1 to P1 terminals
– Test probe P2 to P2 terminals
Schematic Diagram
Insulation resistance is measured between external conductive
parts which can be contacted with test probe P2 and are not con-
nected to the housing, and the housing with test probe P1.
