1.1. GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. Be careful during removing metal parts, sharp edges.
2. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short
circuit is found, replace all parts which have been
overheated or damaged by the short circuit.
3. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such
as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly
installed.
4. After servicing, make the following leakage current checks
to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock
hazards.
1.1.1. LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD
CHECK
1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two
prongs on the plug.
2. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between
the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet
part on the equipment such as screw heads, connectors,
control shafts, etc. When the exposed metallic part has a
return path to the chassis, the reading should be between
1M
Ω
and 5.2M
Ω
.
When the exposed metal does not have a return path to
the chassis, the reading must be infinity.
Figure 1
1.1.2. LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an
isolation transformer for this check.
2. Connect a 1.5k
Ω
, 10 watts resistor, in parallel with a 0.15µF
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.
