Introducing a leak current measuring instrument that complies with the IEC 60601-1 standard (3rd edition, with the ST5540), the ST5540 series feature an improved measuring method and dramatically faster cycle times, thanks to its uninterrupted polarity switching. The new devices support rated currents of up to 20A, making it more than ideal for use with products built to new standards.
Note: Always use an isolation transformer when measuring leak current for medical-use electrical devices. The ST5540 does not include an isolation transformer. When measuring medical-use electrical devices, use a step-up isolation transformer or similar component operating at 110% of the rated supply voltage as the power supply for the device under test.
