Alternative Measuring Method (equivalent leakage current)
–
Measurement type: alternative P1
– DUT mains plug to test socket
– Test probe P1 to P1 terminals
Schematic Diagram
After activating test voltage, leakage current is measured between
short-circuited mains conductors L and N (DUT mains plug) and
accessible conductive parts (probe contact). The RMS, the AC or
the DC component of the current is measured.
Wiring Diagram
Direct Measuring Method for Permanently Installed DUTs
–
Measurement type: permanent connection P1
– Test probe P1 to P1 terminals
Schematic Diagram
The DUT is operated with line voltage from a permanent installa-
tion. Leakage current is measured between the protective con-
ductor at the mains and the output sockets for safety extra-low
voltage at the DUT, one after the other, with the help of the test
probe. Furthermore, accessible conductive parts which are
not
connected to the housing must also be contacted.
Wiring Diagram
Alternative measuring method with 2-pole measurement (P1–P2)
–
Alternative measurement type (P1 - P2)
– Test probe P1 to P1 terminals
– Test probe P2 to P2 terminals
Schematic Diagram
Touch current is measured between external conductive parts
which can be contacted with test probe P2 and are
not connected
to the housing, and the housing with test probe P1.

2-pole measurement between
test probes 1 and 2 (see section
13.7)
Single fault (SFC) – only with measurement type direct P1
Normal status Single fault simulation not active
N interrupted Fault simulation active – only phase and protective conductor are
connected to the DUT

PE interrupted Fault simulation active – the protective conductor is disconnected
from the DUT for the duration of the measurement.
Polarity – for direct P1 and differential P1 measurement types
only
Normal Selection of polarity for mains voltage to the test socket
Reversed
The U(set) and Frequency(set) measuring parameters for the “Alternative” mea-
surement type are no longer included as of firmware version 1.7.0. These param-
eters apply to single measurements as well as test sequences, and have to be
entered in SETUP (see section 13.3).
U(set) – for measurement type alternative P1 only
110 V, 115 V,
220 V, 230 V, 240 V Selection of a line voltage for synthetic test voltage
Frequency(set) – for measurement type alternative P1 only
48 Hz ... 400 Hz Selection of a line frequency for synthetic test voltage
