S(1) Part 2: System Enclosure Leakage current - Single Fault (open earth)
Expected test results:
♦ Single Fault maximum leakage current x2 ≤ 500µA (IEC 60601-1)
≤ 300µA (UL2601-1)
This measures leakage current of exposed metal parts of Instrument under Test (IUT) with Protective
Earth (PE) open circuit (S4 = open) and between parts of the system within the patient environment;
normal and reversed polarity using S2.
(**) Can be multiple different connections to different equipment at same time.
