Leakage (Touch) Current

Overview

The following table contains leakage (touch) current per device:

Application

per Lexium 52

Typical (400 V, 50 Hz)

< 30 mA

NOTE: If the leakage (touch) current is too high for the respective application, use an isolating transformer on the mains supply.

This product has a leakage (touch) current greater than 3.5 mA. If the protective ground connection is interrupted, a hazardous leakage (touch) current may flow if the housing is touched.

INSUFFICIENT GROUNDING

oUse a protective ground conductor with at least 10 mm2 (AWG 6) or two protective ground conductors with the same or larger cross section of the conductors supplying the power terminals.

oVerify compliance with all local and national electrical code requirements as well as all other applicable regulations with respect to grounding of all equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
