Performing a Current Consumption Test
To measure the current consumed by the DUT, press
. The Analyzer displays the current flowing through
the mains connections of the test receptacle.
Performing Leakage Current Tests
The Analyzer measures leakage current for a number of
different DUT configurations. In addition to the leakage
found on the enclosure and the earth connection, the
Analyzer can measure leakage on each connected
applied part and combinations of connected applied parts.
Which leakage tests are available depends on which
standard is selected. See the “Selecting the Test
Standard” section earlier in this manual to change the
standard the Analyzer is using.
The leakage current examples in this manual are those
found under the IEC 60601 standard. Table 5 lists six
leakage current tests that have different names based on
which standard is selected.
Press to access the leakage current main menu
shown in Figure 18.
