Test Instructions
LEAKAGE TEST
Menu 2
This test determines errors of leakage not otherwise detected in a normal insulation test.
If there are any doubts with insulation testing of the equipment, the Standard (AS/NZS
3760 since 2001) allows for a leakage test to be carried out instead. The TnT-el & TnT+
appliance testers have been designed to perform these tests. The Leakage Test applies
power to the Device Under Test (DUT) and measures any imbalance or leakage current.
The leakage is tested to the limits of the class types specified in the Standard AS/NZS
3760 ie. Class 1 = > 5mA as Fail.
The Limit of imbalance measured on the TnT-el appliance tester will read well in excess of
the limits set in mA. However, should the supply circuit be protected by an RCD this
device will trip any where between 10 to 30mA and trip the mains supply switch OFF.
PROCEDURE:
1. Complete a VISUAL INSPECTION on the DUT (Device Under Test)
[refer to page 13 for details – ‘Visual Inspection’].
IF THE DUT PASSED THE ‘VISUAL INSPECTION’, CONTINUE WITH THE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS [if not, refer to page 13 ’IF RESULT IS A FAIL’]:
2. Press Return Key to view Menu 2.
3. Press a Function Key (as follows) to start the test/s. Press F1, F2 or F3 (depending
on the type of DUT you are testing).
1. F1 Earth Leakage
Limit set to MAXIMUM then 5mA Fail
2. F2 D. Insulated Leakage & Ext leads
Limit set to MAXIMUM than 2.5mA Fail
3. F3 RCD Leakage
CONFIRM SAFE TO CONTINUE? OK/QUIT. IF OK, DEVICE WILL TURN ON.
ENSURE SAFE OPERATION!
RESULTS ARE DISPLAYED
4. Read the result and record appropriately.
5. Unplug the DUT
6. Press the Enter key until you return to the Main Menu.
IF THE RESULT OF THE TEST WAS A ‘PASS’ - Tag the DUT with the appropriate tag,
including ‘Next Test Due’ date and return to service.
IF THE RESULT OF THE TEST WAS A ‘FAIL’ - Tag the DUT with a DANGER TAG AND
REMOVE THE DUT FROM SERVICE.
Note: Test will PASS even if DUT is not plugged in.
The Leakage Test is an alternate method to performing insulation resistance
tests. Leakage testing is a major function of the TnT-el & Tnt+ models
!
PLEASE NOTE: A VISUAL INSPECTION MUST BE CARRIED OUT
BEFORE ANY OTHER TESTS.
