VDE: Equivalent-Patient-Leakage-Current Test

The VDE:Equivalent-Patient-Leakage-Current test measures the current that flows
between the applied-parts terminals of the DUT to the PE, Mains terminals (L1 and L2),
and exposed conductive parts of the DUT (connected to RED signal connection) in
response to an isolated AC voltage source with a magnitude of at least 110 % of Mains
voltage. Figure 5-10 shows the electrical connections between the ESA601 and the DUT.
DUT power is off. The table below the diagram indicates the position of switches in the
diagram during the test.
