TRISAN S8 Technical specifications
Technical Specifications:
The mains power inlet supplying the TRISAN S8 is checked for the existence of an Earth, Active-Neutral
transposition and Mains voltage tolerance.
Earthed appliances CLASS I are tested for:- Isolated from protective earth
Electrical continuity <=100K Ohm
Earth continuity <=1 Ohm @ 200mA
Insulation resistance (IR) >=1M Ohm (250/500V DC Selectable)
Differential Leakage current ≤ 5 mA
Test Duration 2 –6 seconds
Mains or Battery powered
Note: If the appliance requires mains power to energise its Off switch (and the switch must be “on” to complete
the mains electrical circuit), the TRISAN S8 can conduct a Current Leakage Test).
Double insulated appliances CLASS II are tested for: Isolated from protective earth
Requires a return path via a cloak or probe for any leakage current during the insulation resistance test.
Electrical continuity <= 100K Ohm
Insulation resistance >= 1M Ohm (250/500V DC Selectable)
Differential Leakage current ≤ 1 mA
Test Duration 2 –6 seconds
Mains or Battery powered
Note: If the appliance requires mains power to energise its On/Off switch (and the switch must be “on” to
complete the mains electrical circuit), the TRISAN S8 can conduct a Current Leakage Test (Run Test) to
ensure Leakage Current is <= 1mA.
Extension/Mains leads CLASS I are tested for: Isolated from protective earth
Insulation resistance >= 1M Ohm
Earth circuit continuity <= 1.0 Ohm @ 200mA*
Figure 8 leads (no earth) insulation resistance A-N to Cloak >=1M Ohm
For electrical continuity > A-N…. greater than 10k Ohms nominal …………………… PASS
For electrical continuity < 10k Ohms considered a near short circuit ………………….. FAIL
Polarity test A– N swap
Neutral (N) open ………………….FAIL
Active ( A) open ………………………………………………………………………… FAIL
Earth (E) open ……………………………………………………………………………..FAIL
Test Duration 2 –6 seconds
Mains or Battery powered
Earth Tests CLASS I
Open circuit voltage …………… < 12 VDC
Threshold levels …………… 0.2 Ω, 0.5 Ω and 1.0 Ω
Test duration ………………….. 2 - 6 s.
Test method …………………… 2-wire measurement
