Inorrect result. The value
of leakage current is
above the set limit. Red
LEDs of FAIL indication
are on.
The result is displayed on screen until ESC button is pressed, another test is run
by pressing START/STOP button, measurement mode is changed, settings mode
is activated or the test result is stored in the memory.
Additional information displayed by the tester
I
Δ
>19,9mA
Measuring range is exceeded.
More messages displayed by the tester are described in section 2.1.2 of this manual.
Notes:
During the measurement in the test socket the mains voltage is present.
During the measurement the tester automatically changes the polarity of the test socket and
repeats the measurement.
During the measurement of a faulty appliance, RCD switch may be triggered off..
- The tested device must be turned on.
- The result of measurement may be affected by the presence of external fields and by the current
used by the device.
- When measuring devices which power consumption exceeds 10A, the measurement time is auto-
matically limited to a maximum of 15s.
4.2.6 Measurement of touch leakage current – I
T
(only PAT-2E and PAT-10)
This test is performed to evaluate the technical condition of the tested device by determining the val-
ue of touch leakage current with the adjusted bandwidth of the measured current, that results from
the measuring system used that simulates human perception and reaction. The internal probe re-
sistance is 2kΩ. This test can be performed only when the tester is connected to mains. During the
measurement the tester automatically changes the polarity of the test socket and repeats the meas-
urement. As a test result it displays the value of the higher leakage current.
