S(2)
Protective Earth
Measures impedance of Protective Earth (PE) terminal to all exposed metal parts of
Instrument under Test (IUT), which are for safety reasons connected to the Protective Earth
(PE). Includes normally the wiring in the mains cable (max. 100 mOhm). Test current 25
Amps applied for 5 seconds to 10 seconds. The recommendation is to flex the main cable
during the test in order to identify potential bad contact or damage of the earth wire.
Safety test according IEC 60601-1 (Clause 18) Report largest value.
S(4) Test ENCL.1:
Enclosure Leakage
Current - NC
(normal condition)
Applicable to Class 1 & 2 equipment, type B, BF & CF Applied Parts.Measures leakage
current of exposed metal parts of UIT; normal and reversed polarity using S2.
For type BF & CF Applied Parts measures with AP/GND switch S3 open and closed.
Safety test according to IEC 60601-1 (Clause 19.4g) Report largest value.
