Performing an Alternative Equipment Leakage
Test

Note

The alternative equipment leakage test is
available when the EN62353 standard is
selected.

During the Alternative Equipment Leakage test, the
voltage source is applied between short-circuited
equipment outlet mains live, neutral, and equipment outlet
earth, the exposed conductive surface on the housing, and
all applied parts short-circuited together. Equipment is
separated from mains during the test. The current which
flows over the insulation of the DUT is measured.
This test is not applicable for equipment with internal
electrical power source. The switches in mains part shall
be closed during measurement.
To perform an alternative equipment leakage test:
1. Press

.

2. Press the softkey labeled Alternative Equipment.
3. Press

to apply the voltage and read the current

in the display.

Figure 25 shows the electrical connections between the
Analyzer and the DUT during an Alternative Equipment
Leakage Test.

The following outlet conditions apply when performing this
test:
