Applications
Measurement of device leakage current is required for electrical med-
ical devices in accordance with IEC 62353 (VDE 0751-1).
In the case of device leakage curre
nt as the sum of all leakage cur-
rent, all probe contact points must be contacted simultaneously.
Definition
Device leakage current is the sum of all leakage currents from the
housing, accessible conductive parts and applied parts to PE.
Direct Measuring Method 
– Dir
ect measurement type 
– DUT mains plug to test socket 
– Test probe P1 to P1 terminals
Schematic Diagram
The device under test (PC1) is operated with mains power. 
Protective conductor current is measured between the protective
conduct
or at the mains (test instrument supply power) and the
protective conductor terminal at the DUT via the DUT’s mains
cable. The measurements must be performed with mains plug
polarity in both directions. Polarity is reversed with the NL/LN key. 
Accessible conductive parts which ar
e connected to the housing,
as well as those which are not connected to the housing, must be
contacted with test probe P1. 
If the DUT includes terminals for applied parts, they must be short-cir-
cuited and contacted with test probe P1 as well.

Differential Current Measurement 
– Differ
ential measurement type 
– DUT mains plug to test socket 
– Test probe P1 to P1 terminals
Schematic Diagram, Protection Class I
The device under test (PC1) is operated with mains power. 
Differential current which flows via the
two mains conductors is
measured (current clamp measurement concept). The measure-
ments must be performed with mains plug polarity in both dir
ec-
tions. Polarity is reversed with the NL/LN ke
y. 
Short-circuited terminals for appli
ed parts or accessible conduc-
tive parts which are not connected to the housing must be con-
tacted with test probe P1.
