CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all 
exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, 
must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes). Leakage current can be 
measured by any one of three methods.
1.  A commercial leakage tester.  
Follow the manufacturers’ instructions provided with the tester.
2.  A battery-operated AC milliammeter. 
3.  Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM 
or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so 
analog meters must have an accurate low voltage scale. Nearly all 
battery-operated digital multimeters that have a 2 VAC range are 
suitable. (see Figure A)

HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND
The cover-plate retaining screw on most AC outlet boxes is at earth ground. 
Verify the AC outlet box retaining screw ground by connecting a 60W to 
100W incandescent (not a neon or fluorescent lamp) between the hot side 
of the receptacle and the retaining screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to 
locate the hot side on the line; the lamp should light at normal brilliance if 
the screw is at ground potential. (see Figure B)
