11.4 Class II Leakage Current
Refer to Fig 6
This test is applicable on Class II Equipment.
The Class II Leakage Test displays the current that
would flow to a person if they touched a conductive part
of the appliance. The leakage current is measured using
a 'body model' of 2kohm as described in IEC 61010-1.
The Tester uses the black test probe to detect any
current flowing from accessible conductive parts of the
appliance to earth via the ‘body model’. The Tester
displays the result in milliamps (mA).
Warning: An insulation resistance test is
recommended before
performing
any
powered test.
Warning: 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.
Attention: Avoid excessive duration, repeated
tests at high loads.
Press Setup (F3) to set the Test Duration and Pass/Fail
limit. Use the arrow keys to highlight and set. Press OK
(F2) when complete. Esc (F2) will exit setup mode
without saving changes.
Fit the power lead supplied to the PrimeTest 300 and
plug the other end into a suitable mains outlet. Fit the
Appliance mains plug into the EUT outlet. Connect the
Earth Bond lead to the appliance metal part. Press the
green START key to begin the test.
Pre-load check - If the potential load current is too high,
a warning message appears, preventing the user from
continuing. This message will be displayed if a Live to
