1.3 What is Leakage Current?
1.3 What is Leakage Current?
High voltage is present in an electrical ap plia n ce t ha t uses a commercial power supply as its main power
source. Touching such equipment may expose a person to an electrical shock when current passes
through the body to ground. This electrical shock is the result of "le akage curr ent" or "touch curren t." Normally, electrical equipment is grounded to protect against electrical shocks. Current regularly flows
through the grounding wire, but should an abnormality (due to faulty design or fault) occur in equipment,
the resulting electrical shock may cause serious personal injury and sometimes lead to the death of the
*1
victim. For this reason, leakage current measurements including single-fault conditi ons
lated.
Leakage current measurements perfor med acco rd ing to the applicable standard makes it possible to verify the safety of equipment.
*1
What is a single-fault condition?
This refers to when equipment has a fault in a safety protection measure, or a fault that may result in a
hazardous condition.
Leakage current testing includes the following three single-fault conditions.
are strictly regu-
1. Disconnected grounding wire (not applicable in current tests of leakage current)
2. One wire in the power cord is disconnected (neutral power supply wire)

3. External equipment damage
(patient leakage current II and patient leakage current III)
*2
In JIS T0601-1:1999 classified as a single-fault condition.
Not a single-fault condition, the instrument is capable of switching polarity during measurements and
retaining a recording of the phase with the highest leakage current.

Overview
This refers to electric current that flows through a protective earth conductor to
the ground.
Touch current is electric current that flows through a p erson who touches an
ungrounded enclosed section of equipment. It does not include current that
flows to the human body in contact with an applied part.
Patient leakage current flows through the body of someone connected to the
applied part.
Test items vary based on the type of applied part.
Electric current that flows between applied parts and through a patient during
normal operation of medical equipment that is not intended to have any physiological effect.
When multiple applied parts are attached to a patient, the total leakage current
must be measured.
The sum of patient leakage current of applied part s is tot a l p atient leakage current.

1.6 Types of Leakage Current Measurement
1.6 Types of Leakage Current Measurement
Earth leakage current measurement
Class-II equipment does not require the measurement of Earth leakage current since it has no protective
earth conductor.
Earth leakage current is measured by inserting a resistance equivalent to the human body in the protec-
tive earth conductor. Using a clamp (Clamp On HiTester) for measuring current does not satisfy the standard.

1.6 Types of Leakage Current Measurement
Touch current measurement
Class-I equipment does not require the measurement of enclosure leakage current since metal enclosures must be grounded for electrical protectio n.
disconnected (single fault), the enclosure is no longer grounded for protection and must be measured.
For Class-II equipment, all enclosures are ungrounded for electrical protection and must be tested.
Ungrounded equipment are often made of plastics and other insulated materials. Since leakage current
flows through the human body, the standard stipulates that a probe is applied to metal foil the size of a
hand pressed against the insulated material. Use the 9195 enclosure probe supplied with the instrument

Patient auxiliary current
Patient auxiliary current is current that flows through an "applied part human body applied part" path.
Regardless of the medical equipment class, type of applied parts, and signal input/output selection, all
medical equipment with multiple applied part s must undergo this measurement.

1.6 Types of Leakage Current Measurement
Patient leakage current measurement (external voltage on a SIP/SOP)
This is electric current that flows through an "applied part human body ground" path.
Measure medical instruments with a signal input/output section and applied parts other than F-type. Measure assuming that medical equipm ent with a broken signal input/output section is connected. Instead of
connecting damaged medical equipment to generate a single-fault condition, input a voltage that is 110%
of the rated voltage.
(Use the T3 terminal on the instrument)
IEC 60601-1:2005 3rd Edition stipulates that the connection of damaged medical equipment does not
constitute a single-fault condition, but handles it as a normal condition.
JIS T0601-1:1999 treats patient leakage current II as patient leakage current I plus a
single fault condition.

Total patient leakage current measurement
To tal patient leakage current is the total of all leakage current to or from patient connections of all the
same type of applied parts (B-Type, BF-Type and CF-Type applied parts) simultaneously connected.
When there are two or more patient connections that go to different functions and are not electr ically connected together, the total patient leakage current for B-Type applied parts must be measured.
If required, measure all patient leakage current components (patient connection - earth, external voltage
on an SIP/SOP, external voltage on an F-type applied part, external voltage on a metal accessible part
that is not protectively earthed.)

1.6 Types of Leakage Current Measurement
Protective conductor current measurement
A protective conductor current measurement measures the electric current that flows thro ugh a protective
earth conductor (grounding wire) during normal operating cond itions.
Like Earth leakage current, class II equipment does not have a protective earth wire and therefore does
not require measurement of protective conductor current.
To measure the protective conductor current, place a resistor with a resistance so small as to be negligible in the protective earth wire circuit.

Note that using the power supply with improper voltage may damage the instrument and result in electrical hazards
.
• To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifica-
tions of this instrument, connect the power cord provided only to
a 3-contact (two-conductor + ground) outlet.
To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplugging it from the power outlet.

3. Connect the plug of the power cord to the isolation transformer.
4. Connect the isolation transformer p lug to a power supply with the voltage specified by the equip-
ment under test.
• When the power on polarity switching function is used, be sure not to
connect the neutral wire on the secondary side of the isolation transformer to ground. If it is connected to ground, a ground fault will occur.
• Use a voltmeter or voltage detec tor to make su re that terminal E [ LINE IN]
is at ground potential (approx. 0 V). Failure to make this confirmation
could lead to electric shock or damage the instrument or the equipment
under test.
• When connecting the power cord of the equipment under test to the
[LINE IN] terminal, use a cord suitable for the capacity of the equipment
under test. Using a power cord with another rating may result in fire.
34
3.2 Connecting the Power Cord
• Use of network B1 or B2 requires the connection of an isolation transformer
capable of outputting a voltage equivalent to 110% of the rated power supply
voltage of the equipment under test.
• When network C is selected, an isolation transformer is required.
However, when the power on polarity switching function is not used, connect
the neutral wire on the secondary side to ground. When the function is used,
not to connect the neutral wire to ground.
• The [LINE IN] and [AC IN] power supplies are isolated from each other.
• Use the cable supplied with the ST5540 and ST5541 instruments to connect
the equipment under test [LINE IN]. Do not connect any other electrical appliance to this inlet.
• The [LINE IN] terminal cannot be used to connect a single-phase three-wire
or center-grounded power supply (for example, a stabilized power supply).
• Nor will the input of 110% of a rated 250 V power supply voltage be a problem.
Description of isolation transformer
The standard requires that an isolation transformer is used for performing leakage current measurements.
Should the equipment under test break down during measurements, unforeseen current could be generated resulting in tripping the earth leakage breaker. Such an event could shut down other electrical equ ipment used in the same facility, which could cause a serious accident. Since an isolation transformer
isolates equipment under test from the earth leakage breaker, equipment breakdown will not have an
impact on the earth leakage breaker or on any other equip m en t.
Voltage fluctuations of ±10% from the rated supply voltage are taken into
account. Nor will the input of 110% of a rated 250 V power supply voltage be a
problem.

The actual connection procedure will vary with the power supply of the equipment under test. A cord to
connect the instrument and the equipment under test is not supplied. Use a power cord that suits the
power supply of the equipment under test.
• To avoid electrical accidents, confirm that all connections are secure.
The increased resistance of loose connections can lead to overheating
and fire.
• To avoid electric shock or damage to the equipment, always observe the
following precautions when connecting to external terminals.
Always turn off the power to the instrument and to any devic es to be connected before making connections.
Be careful to avoid exceeding the ratings of external terminals and connectors.
During operation, a wire becoming dislocated and contacting another
conductive object can be serious hazard. Make sure that c onnections are
secure and use screws to secure the external connectors.
• The permissible current for the terminal block is 20 A. Current exceeding
this limit will trip the breaker and shut down the power supply of the
equipment under test.
Connect the terminal
When connecting the HiTESTER to equipment under test with a power cord, use the terminal
block.
• L (Line), N (Neutral) and G (Ground) are indicated on the terminal b lock of the
instrument, and the contacts of the power cord of the device to be measured
are denoted L, N and G. Connect the wires as shown below. Other wirin g configurations may cause electric shock or damage.
• If the power cord does not include an Ground (G) line, connect only the L and
N terminals.
• When reinstalling the terminal block cover, hang the connected wires straight
down to prevent the wires from being pinched by the cover. Otherwise, the
wires may be disconnected when pinched by the cover.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock and short-circuiting, use the supplied power
cord to connect the measurement line and voltage input terminal.

Turning Power On
• Before turning on the instrument, confirm that the voltage of the power
source matches the voltage specification indicated on the instrument's
power connector ([AC IN]). (The voltage specification (100, 120, 220 or
240 V) ordered by the customer is marked with a black dot in the line
voltage column on the rear panel.)
Note that using the power supply with improper voltage may damage the
instrument and result in electrical hazards.
• To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifications of
this instrument, connect the power cord provided only to a 3-contact
(two-conductor + ground) outlet.
• Before turning on the power switch, confirm that the circuit breaker is turned
off. Even if the instrument was turned off in fault mode (i.e., disconnection of
one wire in the power line) at last use, the instrument will be initialized to normal condition when the power switch is turned on. Therefore, the terminal
block outputs voltage.
• The instrument can operate continuously for 30 minutes at maximum load.
Measurements that continue for longer than 30 minutes may raise internal
temperature and thereby trip the circui t brea ke r.

The internal configuration of the instrument makes it possible that a device
under test connected during a relay check may be exposed to unexpected
voltage that could damage it.
Pre-connection inspection
Does any cable insulation appear damaged,
or is bare metal exposed?
Is damage to the instrument evident?
Does the power supply use single-side-
grounded wiring?
Power-on confirmation
Do not use if damage is present, as you could receive an electric shock. Contact your dealer or Hioki representative if you
find any damage.
When using a center-grounded wiring type power supply (for
example, a stabilized power supply), you may not be able to
perform all checks accurately.

Fuse inspection (when using modes other than Earth leakage current
and protective conductor current modes)
2
The current detection circuit in the instrument contains a fuse. Should the fuse blow due to incorrect wiring
or an over-current condition, the instrument may no longer be able to detect current. Before use, make sure
that the fuse is not blown.
Required items
• A device for measuring impedance
(for example, a tester)
(1) Select network E in the Network Select screen and select
Enclosure - Enclosure leakage current.
(2) Use a tester to measure the impedance between
the T1 and T2 terminals on the front panel.
(Or place the tip of test leads connected to the T1 and T2
terminals on the tester to measure.)
(3) Check that an impedance value of 1015
10 is obtained.
When the tester is connected to the T1 and T2 termina l s,
the instrument measures the leakage current going through the tester.
The impedance is not
1015
10 .
The fuse at the T2 terminal on the front of the
instrument may be blown, or a non-specified
fuse may be inserted. Replace the fuse.

Unless the two values differ substantially, the customer's
equipment under test does not produce any leakage current
and the 15 Hz - 1 MHz setting is enough for any subsequent
measurement.
Checking measurement frequency
When network B2 is selected
The frequency range setting of the instrument is 0.1 - 1 MHz allowing th e user to select 0.1 Hz - 1 MHz or
15 Hz - 1 MHz. An 0.1 Hz - 1 MHz setting will slow down the response of internal circuits and increase
measurement time. Therefore perform the following tests to check the frequency range setting when
using a B2 network. (Default setting: 15 Hz - 1 MHz)
43

Chapter 3 Setting Preparations
Check the frequency range setting at regular intervals.
• Use the 0.1 Hz setting only for measurements in the B2 network.
• Selecting a network other t han the B2 network in a n 0.1 Hz setting will invalidate the 0.1 Hz setting. (The display does not change.)
• The auto range is not available when a 0.1 Hz frequency range setting is
made. Selecting auto range automatically sets the hold range. (during ACpeak
measurements: 1.000 mA range; during AC/DC/AC+DC measurements: 500.0
A range)
• Setting the frequency range to 0.1 Hz in voltmeter mode engages the hold
range (500.0 mV range).
• Setting the frequency range to 0.1 Hz when ACPeak is selected in leakage

4.4 Setting the Measurement Range
(Auto/Hold)
Select auto range for automatic range selection. Selecting hold range allows the user to specify one of
four ranges.
When using the Hold range, if you cannot have the faintest idea about the current type and size, please
measure it by "AC+DC" to have a rough idea and decide the measurement range.
Note that the instrument may be damaged if the applied current exceeds the
measurement range.
• Any input that exceeds the indication range is indicated as "OVER FLOW".
• The maximum indication value differs for network D,F and G.
(The range name indicated is the name of the representative network whose
basic element is 1 k
• The minimum indication value in the Hold range setting varies depending on
the network selected.
• The range configuration differs only when th e ta rget current is set to "ACPeak."
.)
• Caution on using the Hold range
When "!" is displayed and then a lower sensitivity range is chosen, the judgement result may be out of the guaranteed accuracy range.
See "About Peak Over "!"" (p. 58)
• As for ACPeak measurement, please set the allowable value to a bigger one
than the minimum indication value in the rang e.
Setting a value less than the minimum indication value disables any numeric
comparison,displayed "Comp Low, Range Down" and setting a value bigger
than the maximum indication value,displayed "Range Up."
See Range of indication:
"Ammeter mode/unit of indication : AUTO range of indication" (p. 55)
See "Ammeter mode/unit of indication : mA (HOLD) range of indication" (p . 57)
• The auto range is not available when a 0.1 Hz frequency range setting is

4.6 Setting the Allowable Value
Set the allowable value (upper-limit leakage current value) for the measurement value and maximum
value.
According to the status (normal condition, single-fault condition) of the equipment under test, two values
can be set.
The allowable value setting is based on "Numeric value x Factor."
Use the allowable value setting to provide a margin or compensate for measurement error.
The factor is set to "100%" by default. (Input range 1 to 100% )
Set a lower limit value when required.
• Setting a lower limit value for all measurement modes.
See "7.9 Setting Lower Limit Values (factor)" (p. 130)
• Setting a lower limit value for specific measurement modes.
See "Turning lower limit values on and off for specific leakage current measurements" (p. 63)
The instrument indicates the result (PASS/FAIL/LOW indication) of comparison between the measurement value and allowable value.

About allowable value judgement
When the indication unit is fixed to "mA," FAIL judgement may result even if
the measurement value (or maximum value) and allowable value are the
same. This is because internally retained data contains lower-order digits
even if the unit is fixed to "mA," and judgement is made using the values with
lower-order digits.
An allowable value setting lower than the accuracy guarantee range, displayed "Comp Low".

Do not touch any part of
the test lead beyond the
finger barrier
Using L2200 Test Lead
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not touch the tips of test leads connected to terminals T1, T2, and T3.
In some measurement modes, high voltage is output from the terminals.
Connect the L2200 Test Lead to a measuring terminal (T1, T2, or T3).
The terminal to be used varies depending on the measurement mode.
See"5.1 Connecting the Test Lead" (p. 75)
To apply 110% of rated voltage, use an isolation transformer to supply the voltage to [LINE IN].
The voltage applied to [LINE IN] is also output from the T3 terminal.

Chapter 5 Measurement Preparations
Using the 9195 Enclosure Probe
(for measuring enclosure leakage current)
When measuring enclosure leak age current, position the surface contact probe on the enclosure of the
equipment under test, then set the test lead on the surface contact probe.
Ensure full contact of the surface contact probe on the enclosure by applying about 0.5 N/cm2 of pressure.
78
5.1 Connecting the Test Lead
Using Alligator Clips (when using two or three test leads)
Position the test lead on the enclosur e or terminal of the equipme nt under test to measur e leakage current. When using two or three lead wires, alligator clips may be used to ensure a secure connection.
