11.5 Class I Leakage Current

Refer to Fig 7
This test is applicable on Class I Equipment.

The Class I Leakage Current Test displays the current
flowing in the earth conductor of the EUT. This is
measured by determining the difference in current
flowing in the live and neutral conductors.

The Tester displays the result in milliamps (mA).

Warning: Always test the earth continuity
before performing a Class I Leakage Current
test.

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 prolonged, repeated use at
full load (13A) and excessive test duration as
this may reduce the life of the unit.
