7ELECTRICAL SAFETY TESTS
After the MR810 has been serviced, perform the following electrical safety tests as listed below or in accordance with relevant country regulations.
7.1PROTECTIVE EARTH RESISTANCE
Use an ohmmeter and measure the resistance from the earth pin on the mains plug to the heater plate. To ensure good contact with the anodised heater plate an alligator clip is recommended. Connect at the front of the heater plate where the anodising has been removed (see Figure 7.1). The resistance should be ≤ 0.2 Ω.
7.2EARTH LEAKAGE CURRENT
Measure earth leakage with the earth probe of the tester on the heater plate (see Figure 7.1). Earth leakage current is measured at normal mains operating voltage and frequency; it should not exceed 0.5mA maximum.
7.3INSULATION RESISTANCE
Use a 500 VDC insulation resistance tester to measure the resistance from the phase pin on the mains plug to the heater plate (see Figure 7.1). Insulation resistance should be ≥ 10 MΩ.
