Current, with Mains
Voltage on the Applied
Part
This test measures patient leakage current in accordance with EN60601-1,
Clause 19, for Class I, type CF equipment. In this test, 110% of mains voltage
is applied between each patient connection and earth (power ground). Patient
leakage current is then measured from any individual patient connection to
earth.
Warning AC mains voltage is present on the applied part terminals
during this test. Exercise caution to avoid electrical shock
hazard.
