Operation
Measures the total resistance between any two points separated by
electrical insulation. The IR test determines how effective the
dielectric (insulation) is in resisting the flow of electrical current.
General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB).
standard definition of a Parallel bus connection for the purpose of
communicating data between devices.
An industry standard definition for a Serial line communication
link or port.
An electronic device designed to switch or matrix signals.
The residual flow of current that flows through the insulation after
a high voltage has been applied for a period of time. The leakage
current is equal to the applied voltage divided by the insulation
resistance. Leakage current is the main measured value for AC
hipot and DC hipot.
A line leakage current test that measures the current that would
flow from, to or between applied parts such as sensor and patient
leads. This test is the most complicated and time-consuming line
leakage test.
The most important and most common of the line leakage tests.
Earth leakage current is basically the current flowing back through
the ground conductor on the power cord.
opening the ground conductor, inserting a circuit with the
simulated impedance of the human body then measuring the
voltage across part of the circuit with a true RMS voltmeter.
A line leakage test that measures the current that flows through the
human body if the body had touched the enclosure of the DUT.
A line voltage leakage current test simulates the effect of a person
touching exposed metal parts of a product and detects whether or
not the leakage current that flows through the person's body
remains below a safe level. Apply power to the product being
tested, then measure the leakage current from any exposed metal
on the chassis of the product under a fault conditions such as "no
ground". A special circuit is used to simulate the impedance of the
human body.
