Electrical Safety Inspection G-3
G.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.
ļ¬ normal polarity (Normal Condition);
ļ¬ reverse polarity (Normal Condition);
ļ¬ normal polarity with open neutral (Single Fault Condition);
ļ¬ reverse polarity with open neutral (Single Fault Condition).
ļ® LIMITS
For UL60601-1:
ļ¬ 300 μA in Normal Condition.
ļ¬ 1000 μA in Single Fault Condition.
For IEC60601-1:
ļ¬ 500 μA in Normal Condition.
ļ¬ 1000 μA in Single Fault Condition.
G.6 Enclosure Leakage Test
The following outlet conditions apply when performing the Enclosure Leakage test.
ļ¬ normal polarity (Normal Condition);
ļ¬ reverse polarity (Normal Condition);
ļ¬ normal polarity with open neutral (Single Fault Condition);
ļ¬ reverse polarity with open neutral (Single Fault Condition);
ļ¬ normal polarity with open earth (Single Fault Condition);
ļ¬ reverse polarity with open earth (Single Fault Condition).
ļ® LIMITS
For UL60601-1:
ļ¬ 100 μA in Normal Condition.
ļ¬ 300 μA in Single Fault Condition.
For IEC60601-1:
ļ¬ 100 μA in Normal Condition.
ļ¬ 500 μA in Single Fault Condition.
G.7 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.
ļ¬ normal polarity (Normal Condition);
ļ¬ reverse polarity (Normal Condition);
ļ¬ normal polarity with open neutral (Single Fault Condition);
ļ¬ reverse polarity with open neutral (Single Fault Condition).
ļ¬ normal polarity with open earth (Single Fault Condition);
ļ¬ reverse polarity with open earth (Single Fault Condition).
