Note
When conducting leakage current tests, please note
the following:
1. Under normal operating conditions,
leakage current is measured when an electrical
device under test is properly insulated with earth.
If the device is not properly insulated, the leakage
current that is conducted through the
measurement network may be invalid.
2. Leakage current tests involve high
voltages. When working with high voltages,
testing personnel should use proper safety
precautions. All test labs should establish safety
rules to cut-off power to an EUT should conditions
become unsafe. Contacting any electrical appliance
under test is extremely hazardous and should not
be attempted.
3.
The surrounding environment has an
effect upon leakage current tests. Avoid high
temperatures, high humidity and surface
pollutants on the enclosure surface as they can all
have an influence on the resulting data.
