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

Pto switch the test receptacle between Normal, Off, Reverse, and Off. Press Nto open and close the neutral connection to the receptacle. Press Dto open and close the receptacle’s earth connection.

The following outlet conditions apply when performing this test:
