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. 


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.
