Note 1: The IEE Code of Practice states that the maximum resistance should be
no greater than 0.1 Ohms + the resistance of the mains cable. Therefore, if the
appliance has a long mains lead then the allowable resistance can be higher than
the pre-programmed 0.1
Ω.
WARN
ING
When conducting a leakage test the appliance will automatically power on
and will operate in its normal manner. It is imperative that the appliance is
secured safely before the test is carried out. Extra care needs to taken
with appliances which have heating elements and rotating parts.
Firmly insert the plug of the appliance to the socket of the Tester. Plugs
may get hot if Leakage current test is performed with improper connection.
Do not connect/remove the plugs during Leakage current test. It may
cause a reading error.
Do not use the Tester on the device which has a power consumption of
3 kVA or more.
