Seaward Apollo 600 - Manual (Page 19)

CLII Substitute Leakage
The test is performed between the EUT socket live and
neutral and Red test terminal.
During this test, 40V A.C. is applied between the earth pin and both the live and neutral
pins of the appliance mains supply plug.
In manual mode once the correct connections have been made for the selected test type
press the Start button, in automatic mode the test will proceed automatically. The test will
continue until it times out. If we wish to abort the current test press the Stop button. The
measurement will be displayed in milli Amps.
This test can prove useful in situations where neither conventional insulation nor flash tests
are
acceptable methods of testing the insulation of the appliance.
Please note that values for substitute leakage may differ substantially from that of
conventional earth leakage tests because of the way that the test is performed (e.g. it will be
affected by the presence of Neutral-to-Earth suppression capacitors).
Protective Earth (PE) Conductor Current
Always test the earth continuity and insulation resistance before performing a PE
Conductor Current test.
Always check that an appliance with moving parts (e.g. an electric drill) is safely
mounted to avoid risk of damage to equipment or personnel.
Avoid prolonged, repeated use at full load (16A) and excessive test duration as
this may reduce the life of the unit.
Always ensure that appliance and leads, which include RCD protection, that the
RCD is reset at the beginning of the test. Failure to do so may result in incorrect
measurements being recorded.
This test is applicable on Class I Equipment.
The Apollo 600 should be connected to a mains supply.
The EUT should be connected into the EUT test socket.
In manual mode once the correct connections have been
made for the selected test type press the Start button, in
automatic mode the test will proceed automatically.
The test will continue until it times out. If we wish to abort the current test press
the Stop button. The measurement will be displayed in mA.
Should the test measurement over range then the test will be aborted immediately and a fail
will be logged.
