Section 10-8 - Electrical Safety Tests
10-8-6-2
Generic Procedure
The testing meter is connected from accessible protectively-earthed parts of the equipment to ground.
Measurements should be made with power line polarity normal and reversed, and with the neutral open
and closed. Record the highest reading of current.
NOTE:
Color of Power coutlet cable
i) USA and Canada
Hot : Black
Neutral : White
Ground : Green or Green-yellow
ii) Others
Hot : Brown
Neutral : Blue
Ground : Green-yellow
Electrical leakage testing may be accomplished with any calibrated Electrical Safety Analyzer tool
compliant with AAMI/ESI 1993 or IEC 60601 or AS/NZS 3551.
When using a test instrument, its power plug may be inserted into the wall outlet and the equipment
under test is plugged into the receptacle on the panel of the meter. This places the meter in the
grounding conductor and the current flowing through protective earth will be indicated in any of the
current ranges. The maximum allowable limit for earth leakage current is shown in
Figure 10-4 Set Up for Test of Earth Leakage Current, IEC 60601-1 Clause 19
