E.5 Earth Leakage Test
Run an Earth Leakage test on the device being tested before performing any other leakage tests.
The following outlet conditions apply when performing the Earth Leakage test:
normal polarity( Normal Condition),
reverse polarity( Normal Condition),
normal polarity with open neutral(Single Fault Condition),
reverse polarity with open neutral(Single Fault Condition)
LIMITS
For UL60601-1,
300 A in Normal Condition
1000 A in Single Fault Condition
For IEC60601-1,
500 A in Normal Condition
1000 A in Single Fault Condition
E.6 Patient Leakage Current
Patient leakage currents are measured between a selected applied part and mains earth. All measurements have a true
RMS only
The following outlet conditions apply when performing the Patient Leakage Current test.
normal polarity( Normal Condition);
reverse polarity( Normal Condition),
normal polarity with open neutral(Single Fault Condition);
reverse polarity with open neutral(Single Fault Condition).
normal polarity with open earth(Single Fault Condition);
reverse polarity with open earth(Single Fault Condition).
LIMITS
For CF applied parts
10A in Normal Condition
50A in Single Fault Condition
For BF applied parts
100A in Normal Condition
500A in Single Fault Condition
