Performing a Chassis (Enclosure) Leakage Test
Note
The Chassis (Enclosure) Leakage test is only
available for the IEC 60601 or ANSI/AAMI ES1
standard selections.
The Chassis (Enclosure) Leakage Test measures the
current flowing between the DUT’s enclosure and
protective earth. Figure 11 shows the electrical
connections between the Analyzer and the DUT.
To perform a Chassis (Enclosure) Leakage Test:
