Leakage current measurement is an important indicator of product safety. Small leakage currents can be very dangerous. The current above the "threshold of perception" in appliances, motors and other equipment can cause a violent reaction which may result in serious physical injury. The fully portable Simpson Model 229-2 helps determine product conformance to various standard in field service, lab, production or industry.
CAUTION! Leakage current in appliances may increase with use and aging. Check appliances periodically for safety.
