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)
