To do a leakage current test:
1. Push .
2. Use the Mode softkey to select the Flash LC Mode function.
3. Connect the Product and DUT as in Figure 59.
4. Choose an appropriate 5322A-LOAD load resistance value to simulate the
required leakage current value, and connect using a jumper inserted into the
corresponding 5322A-LOAD resistor sockets, as in Figure 59.
5. Select the function Flash Class II on the DUT.
6. Push the Test button on the DUT.
The DUT connects the test voltage between L+N and PE terminals.
The Product shows the simulated leakage current flowing. The product also
shows the loaded DUT test voltage output.
7. Compare the Product current reading with the DUT reading and leakage
current specification.
PAT tester Flash test outputs have current limiting, typically using
resistors in series with the connection to the shorted L and N
terminals and the connection to the Flash Probe terminal. Therefore,
when loaded, the measured output voltage will be lower than the
nominal values quoted in the DUT specifications, to an extent
determined by the simulated (loaded) leakage current flowing and
the series current limiting resistor values. PAT testers generally have
a Flash Test limit (shorted output) current of 5mA, so a current
limiting resistor of approximately 300 k
