Paragraph 8.4.1.3.6.1: Portable 
Equipment Lead to Ground – 
Nonisolated Input Test 

 

1. 

Connect the LCT-601 to the EUT using 
the female attachment plug cap pigtail. 

2. 

Connect the LCT-601 to mains power 
using the male attachment plug cap 
pigtail. 

3. 

Set the MEAS POINT Switch to the 
CHASSIS MEAS POINT (left) position. 

4. 

Regarding the EARTH switch (second 
switch from the top); the test is to be 
conducted with the EARTH switch in 
both positions. 

5. 

Set the NEUTRAL switch (third switch 
from the top) to the NEUTRAL 
CONNECTED position. 

6. 

Set the POLARITY switch to the 
NORMAL position. 

7. 

Set the power switch of the EUT to the 
ON position.  

8. 

Connect a calibrated voltage meter 
across the RED and GREEN LEAKAGE 
banana plugs on the LCT -601.  Set it to 
read ~100uV. 

9. 

Connect all patient-connected leads 
together, connect them to the RED 
LEAKAGE banana plug of the LCT-601 
and conduct measurements for both test 
conditions.  For this test, switch the 
EUT to the output condition that results 
in the highest leakage output. 

10.  Read the current meter for  both 

conditions noted above.  A passing 
result is <100uA (<100uV on the meter 
connected to the LCT-601) for any 
condition. 

11.  See Figure  11 and Table  11  for a Test 

Setup synopsis.  This section is  based 
on NFPA 99 Fig. 8.4.1.3.6.1, see below.
