113 Annex C
114 (normative)
116 Leakage current
118 Addition:
119 C.101 Measurement of insulation touch current for battery-operated machines
120 The insulation touch current is measured for machines with a working voltage that is a
121 hazardous voltage, where there is an accessible part or surface conductively connected to
122 internal circuitry, other than through protective impedance.
123 The insulation touch current is measured as the weighted touch current by means of the
124 circuit of Figure C.3 of Part 1 between
125 – the accessible part(s) or surface(s) connected to internal circuitry;
126 and
127 – metal foil stretched across the surface of all accessible part(s) or surface(s) not connected
128 to internal circuitry.
129 The measurement circuit of Figure C.3 of Part 1 shall meet the accuracy specifications in
130 Clause G.3 of IEC 60990:1999.
131 If the insulation touch current exceeds the specified limit due to capacitance effects, then
132 metal foil with an area not exceeding 20 cm × 10 cm shall be used. If its area is smaller than
133 the surface under test, it is moved to make sure all parts of the surface are tested. The heat
134 dissipation of the machine shall, however, not be affected by the metal foil in areas such as
135 ventilation openings.
136 For the test, the machine is operated at no-load with a fully charged battery.
137 The insulation touch current shall not exceed 2,0 mA, unless otherwise specified in the
138 relevant Clause of this document.
