About Current Leakage Testers

Current leakage testers measure the amount of current that flows through a ground conductor. They include a measuring device or probe that connects to a conductive point, a voltmeter that displays root mean square (RMS) values, and a circuit with specific resistance and frequency characteristics. Current leakage testers are used during both normal and single-fault conditions in order to determine whether electrical devices pose a shock hazard. For medical devices and other specialized equipment, additional single-fault conditions may be required. Organizations such as the International Engineering Consortium (IEC) establish and maintain standards for acceptable levels of current leakage from different classes of devices. 

Manual, automatic, and semi-automatic current leakage testers are available. Manual devices require operators to set and change test parameters. Automatic devices are programmable, fully automated, and can often perform an entire series of electrical safety tests in succession. Semi-automatic current leakage testers combine features from both manual and automatic devices. Some current leakage testers include a general-purpose interface bus (GPIB) and are designed to connect to computers, peripherals, and laboratory instruments. Other devices include an RS232 serial bus or a parallel port that is designed to connect to a printer.

Products & Services Related to Current Leakage Testers

Ground Bond Testers
Ground bond testers are electrical safety test devices that perform electrical compliance tests.
Ground Resistance Testers
Ground resistance testers are devices that are used to measure and test electrical grounding systems. Grounding enables optimum electrical continuity between conducting objects and earth.
Hipot Testers
Hipot testers are electrical safety test devices that perform a variety of electrical compliance tests.
Megohmmeters
Megohmmeters generate high voltage, low current signals for testing the breakdown strength of electrical insulation. They are called megohmmeters because the insulating resistance of a properly designed product is expressed in mega ohms (MOmega: Ohms ).
