A leakage current tester is a battery-powered instrument used to measure the amount of unintended electrical current that flows from electronic equipment to ground or through patient-connected parts. It is used clinically to assess the safety of medical devices by detecting leakage currents that could pose a risk of electric shock or cardiac fibrillation in patients.
Such devices typically include an ammeter capable of measuring milliamperes or amperes, along with test leads and clips for connecting to equipment under test. They may feature audible or visual alarms that activate when leakage exceeds a preset threshold, helping users identify unsafe conditions during routine safety inspections.
