In Leakage Current Test?

The leakage current test takes place during the actual use of the electrical product. For this purpose, the electrical device is connected to the operating voltage and tested to see whether too high a leakage current flows through the insulation to the housing.

How do you measure leakage current?

The leakage current is measured by applying a fixed, high voltage DC and by measuring the leakage current flowing through the shunt. The high voltage DC is generated using an onboard power supply based on a flyback topology, which takes a wide range of DC input voltage from 150-V DC to 800-V DC.

What is the purpose of leakage current?

Leakage Current Measurement in Medical Devices

The objective of the Leakage Current test is to verify that the electrical insulation used to protect the user from a Risk of Shock is suitable for the application.
