The Exchange Test Method

LABORATORY TEST METHOD NO. H-13: MEASURING LEAKAGE CURRENT IN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

  1. PURPOSE:

    To determine leakage current present between all exposed electrically conductive surfaces of the appliance and ground in order to eliminate potentially hazardous conditions.
  2. REFERENCE:

    Various UL Standards
  3. TEST APPARATUS AND MATERIALS:

  4. PROCEDURE:

  5. EVALUATION:

    Evaluate leakage current levels by using the following acceptable levels per UL Standards:
  6. REPORT

    Indicate amount of leakage current and compare for compliance with applicable UL Standard. Report the results in terms of whether the appliance being tested passed or failed applicable UL requirements.
