Performing an Alternative Equipment Leakage

The following outlet conditions apply when performing this

Test

test:

Note

The alternative equipment leakage test is available when the EN62353 standard is selected.

During the Alternative Equipment Leakage test, the voltage source is applied between short-circuited equipment outlet mains live, neutral, and equipment outlet earth, the exposed conductive surface on the housing, and all applied parts short-circuited together. Equipment is separated from mains during the test. The current which flows over the insulation of the DUT is measured.

This test is not applicable for equipment with internal electrical power source. The switches in mains part shall be closed during measurement.

To perform an alternative equipment leakage test:

1.Press B.

2.Press the softkey labeled Alternative Equipment.

3.Press Tto apply the voltage and read the current in the display.

Figure 24 shows the electrical connections between the Analyzer and the DUT during an Alternative Equipment Leakage Test.

Note

If there are more than five applied parts to connect to the Analyzer, see Using the 1210 Adapter later in this manual.

Performing an Alternative Applied Part Leakage Test

Note

The Alternative applied part leakage test is available when the EN62353 standard is selected.

During the Alternative Applied Part Leakage test, the test voltage is applied between short-circuited applied parts of

asingle function and the short-circuited equipment outlet mains live, neutral, equipment outlet earth, and exposed conductive surface on the housing. This test should only be done for equipment with F-Type applied parts. For equipment with multiple applied parts, test each group of applied parts of a single function in turn with all others floating during the test. All applied parts can be connected to the Analyzer’s applied parts jacks and the lead selection will float those not selected.
