Measuring Patient Leakage Current
Patient leakage current is the leakage current that flows from the individual patient connector (Lead/probe) of the DUT via the patient to earth.
Refer to schematic below for this test setup:
For more specific test setup, follow the setup instructions as part of your Electrical Safety Tester.
The following test conditions should be considered for Patient Leakage Current testing:
Measuring Point A Measuring Point B Input Voltage Frequency Device State Polarity Neutral Earth Test Condition Leakage Current Limit
