2-8-4 Measurement of the bipolar high frequency leakage current under unloaded condition
Fig. 5.2.10 and Fig. 5.2.11 are showing an example how to set up the test to measure the bipolar high
frequency leakage current under unloaded condition. In this test the output is unloaded, the load resistance
used in the test before is removed. The high frequency leakage current is floating from appropriate pole to the
equipotential bonding port. It is measured via the electrosurgical analyzer via a measuring resistance of 200 Ω.
Fig. 5.2.10 shows the measurement from terminal 1; Fig. 5.2.11 shows the measurement from terminal 2.
9) Assign the footswitch to the BIPOLAR socket and select the BipolarCut mode with effect 3. Set the power
level to 100. (Perform the setting according to the instruction for use.)
10) Set up the measurement according to Fig. 5.2.10 (Measuring of the high frequency leakage current under
unloaded condition at terminal 1.)
11) Activate the output power by pressing the corresponding footswitch pedal.
12) Verify the leakage current is ≤ 70 mA.
13) Set up the measurement according to Fig. 5.2.11 (Measuring of the high frequency leakage current under
unloaded condition at terminal 2.)
14) Activate the output power by pressing the corresponding footswitch pedal.
15) Verify the leakage current is ≤ 70 mA.
16) Record the test results in the Inspection Card (see chapter 5-3 ).
