Touch Current – IT
Applications
Make sure that the contacted parts are not grounded.
Definition
Current which flows from housing parts which are not connected
to the protective conductor via an external conductive connection
to earth or another part of the housing. Flow of current via the
protective conductor is excluded in this case.
The following designations are also common:
housing leakage current, probe current.
Direct Measuring Method
–
Measurement type direct P1
– DUT mains plug to test socket
– Test probe P1 to P1 terminals
Schematic Diagram
The device under test is operated with mains power. Current
which flows to the protective conductor via exposed conductive
parts and via the probe is measured. The measurements must be
performed with mains plug polarity in both directions. Polarity is
reversed with the
NL/LN
key. The TRMS, the AC or the DC com-
ponent of the current is measured.

Note
Regarding protection class I DUTs:
Parts may or may not be grounded.
Coincidental grounding only occurs in the event of an
error.
Direct Measuring Method
–
Measurement type direct P1
– DUT mains plug to test socket
– Test probe P1 to P1 terminals
– APPs to APP sockets
Schematic Diagram
The device under test is operated with mains power. Current
which flows to the protective conductor via exposed conductive
parts, the probe and the connected applied parts is measured.
The measurements must be performed with mains plug polarity in
both directions. Polarity is reversed with the
NL/LN
key. The
TRMS, the AC or the DC component of the current is measured.
