➤ Ground Wire Leakage Current Test Procedure
To test the system’s ground wiring for leakage:
1. Set the mode on the analyzer to detect leakage.
2. Plug the analyzer into an available wall outlet. Plug the ultrasound system power plug into the
test receptacle on the analyzer. Turn on the ultrasound system’s power by starting the
internal PC.
3. Take ground wire leakage current measurements in an open ground condition, with both
normal and reverse polarity. Record the highest value, and compare it to the limit specified
for Normal condition in Figure 6-2 on page 93.
