6-Patient leakage current test
Overview
The patient leakage current test aims to test the leakage current between the available applied part
and the ground. All measurements can adopt the RMS value.
Test process
Preparations
Calibrate the menu of the major applied part.
The following output conditions are required for this test:
Normal Polarity, Earth Open, Outlet ON
Normal Polarity, Outlet ON
Normal Polarity, L2 Open, Outlet ON
Reversed Polarity, Outlet ON
Reversed Polarity, Earth Open, Outlet ON
Reversed Polarity, L2 Open, Outlet ON
WARNING
If all applied parts pertain to the same anti-shock type, connect all applied parts and obtain a single
measurement value. If the applied parts pertain to different anti-shock types, test all applied parts
respectively by type in auto or step mode.
