2-3-3 Chassis Leakage Current Test

Definition
Leakage current is the electrical current that could flow through the patient or
sonographer should a ground wire break. The unit, the probes and all external
peripherals must be tested.
The test verifies the isolation of the power line from the chassis. The testing meter is
connected from accessible metal parts of the case to ground. Measurements should be
made with the unit ON and OFF, with the power line polarity Normal and Reversed.
Record the highest reading of current.
