When the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis,
the reading should be between 1M and 5.2M . / When the
exposed metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the
reading must be .

1.1.2. Leakage current hot check / (See Figure 1 .)
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an
isolation transformer for this check.
2. Connect a 1.5k , 10 watts resistor, in parallel with a 0.15 F
capacitors, between each exposed metallic part on the set and a
good earth ground such as a water pipe, as shown in
Figure 1 .
3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1000 ohms/volt or more sensitivity, to
measure the potential across the resistor.
4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the voltage at
each point.
5. Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above
measurements.
6. The potential at any point should not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. A
leakage current tester (Simpson Model 229 or equivalent) may be
used to make the hot checks, leakage current must not exceed 1/2
milliampere. In case a measurement is outside of the limits
specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the
equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned
to the customer.
2. Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) to
Electrostatic Sensitive (ES) Devices
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such
components commonly are called Electrostatic Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES
devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistor-sand semiconductor "chip"
