Chapter 1 Overview
Class-II equipment does not require the measurement of Earth leakage current since it has no protective
earth conductor.
Earth leakage current is measured by inserting a resistance equivalent to the human body in the protec-
tive earth conductor. Using a clamp (Clamp On HiTester) for measuring current does not satisfy the stan-
dard.
