10.14 Measurement Networks
270
Network B1 is a measurement network for medical electrical equipment.
Network B1 complies with the following standards :
(1) Medical electrical equipment - Part 1 :
General requirements for safety
(JIS T 0601-1:1999)
When network B1 is selected, the instrument can also be used in compliance
with the following standards on testing leakage current :
(2) JIS standards for medical X-ray equipment
The instrument can be used for testing leakage current in isolation transformers
in compliance with the safety standard for electrical facilities for hospitals (JIS
T1022 : 96).
In addition to medical electrical equipment standards, many JIS standards spec-
ify the use of a network with 1 k non-inductive resistance for testing leakage
current.
