Leakage 1b: This leakage test, specified by the IEC as Dispersive Electrode to Ground,
is for testing the RF leakage to earth ground of an Isolated Output type CF electrosurgical
generator from a single active or dispersive lead. The test complies with IEC 601.2.2,
sec. 19.101b, fig, 104 and sec. 19.102, adopted by ANSI/AAMI HF18-2001. The purpose
of this test is to verify that open circuit RF leakage of the DUT meets or exceeds the IEC
specification. The ESU-2400 internally connects the load to earth ground. An external
ground is also provided at the front panel.
NOTE: DO NOT TEST AN EARTH REFERENCED TYPE BF ELECTROSURGICAL
GENERATOR WITH THIS TEST, THE RESULTING MEASUREMENT WILL BE
ERRONEOUS.
