This chapter describes the GLC-9000 in a nutshell, including the
main features, front and rear panel description, and the power up
sequence.
Introduction
Overview Many electrical products must undergo electrical
safety testing to ensure their safety. These tests
include insulation resistance, withstand voltage,
ground continuity and leakage current tests. These
tests are complex and critical for safety standards
compliance.
To comply with international standards and to
ensure operator safety, leakage current tests are
also performed under normal and faulty operating
conditions.
Leakage current tests can be separated into 3 basic
types:
 Earth Leakage current
 Enclosure Leakage current
 Patient Leakage current
The GLC-9000 complies with IEC, UL and other
international electrical safety standards requiring
leakage current measurement.
