Performing a Lead-to-Ground (Patient) Leakage
Test
Note
The Lead-to-Ground (Patient) Leakage Current
Test is not available for IEC 62353 standard
selections.
The Lead-to-Ground (Patient) Leakage Current test
measures the current flowing between a selected applied
part, selected group of applied parts, or ALL applied parts,
and the Mains PE. Figure 20 shows the electrical
connections between the Analyzer and the DUT.
To perform a Lead-to Ground (Patient) leakage test:
1. Press B.
2. Press the soft key labeled More.
3. Select one of the applied part groupings by pressing
G or H.
Note
Refer to the testing standard when deciding the
type of the applied parts and how they should be
grouped for testing.
4. Press the soft key labeled Select.
5. Press F or E to advance through each applied part
grouping, or the individual applied parts, to ground.
These are selected and measured.
The Lead-to-Ground 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 Neutral
• Normal Polarity, Open Earth
• Reversed Polarity
• Reversed Polarity, Open Neutral
• Reversed Polarity, Open Earth
Note
If there are more than five applied parts to
connect to the Analyzer, see Using the 1210
Adapter later in this manual.
