8.3 Safety Analysis Test

8.3.1 General Information

The suggested Safety Analysis Test refer to the international Standard IEC 601-1.
The tests are generally performed with Safety Testers, on most of them, the measuring circuits
according IEC 601 are already implemented.
The tests which have to be performed are described generally, for the handling of your Safety
Tester follow the user manual.
The tests may be performed under normal ambient conditions of temperature, humidity and
pressure and with line voltage.
The leakage currents correspond to 110 % of rated voltage for the tested unit. Most Safety Testers
take this into account, otherwise the measured values have to be calculated.
Recommended test equipment
- Safety Tester for measurements according IEC 601.
- Testing connector for the following description.

8.3.2 Measuring of Leakage Current

To proceed the suggested measurements, the unit under test has to be separated from any
interconnection to a system. If the unit is part of a system, extended tests according IEC 601-1-1
have to be performed. The following diagram shows the needed Measuring Circuit [M] for lea-
kage current. The reading in mV corresponds to uA (leakage current). The Safety Testers
generally work with this Measuring Circuit [M] and the displayed values are already converted to
leakage current.
