Performing a Chassis (Enclosure) Leakage Test
Note
The Chassis (Enclosure) Leakage test is only
available for the IEC60601 or ANSI/AAMI ES1
1993 standard selections.
The Chassis (Enclosure) Leakage Test measures the
current flowing between the DUT’s enclosure and
protective earth. Figure 19 shows the electrical
connections between the Analyzer and the DUT.
To perform a Chassis (Enclosure) Leakage Test:
1. Connect a lead between the Analyzer’s V/Ω/A jack
and the DUT’s enclosure.
2. Press the softkey labeled Chassis from the Leakage
Current Test menu.
3. The Analyzer displays the measured current.
The Chassis Leakage test can be performed with a
number of fault conditions on the test receptacle. Press
P to switch the test receptacle between Normal, Off,
Reverse, and Off. Press N to open and close the
neutral connection to the receptacle. Press D to open
and close the receptacle’s earth connection.
The following outlet conditions apply when performing this
test:
• Normal Polarity
• Normal Polarity, Open Earth
• Normal Polarity, Open Neutral
• Reversed Polarity
• Reversed Polarity, Open Earth
• Reversed Polarity, Open Neutral
IEC60601-1 specifies that the applied parts should be
connected for this measurement. Enable this
measurement by pressing E or F which grounds and
ungrounds all applied parts connection posts.
