What is the difference between withstand voltage test and leakage current test?

 In the safety inspection items, the current test item include withstand voltage test and leakage current test, and both tests are for the current of the insulating part. But in the actual test, there are many cases where both the withstand voltage test and the leakage current test need to be carried out. Why? And what is the difference between a withstand voltage test and a leakage current test?

 

Difference 1: voltage applied to the test is different.

The difference between the withstand voltage test and the leakage current test is mainly in the voltage applied to the EUT. The voltage applied in the withstand voltage test is much higher than the rated voltage, the test is between the live & neutral wire and the electrical enclosure, it mainly tests the insulation performance of the electrical appliance. The leakage current test is to apply a 1.06 times of rated voltage to EUT, and check if there is a leakage current between live wire and ground wire. Both of which are important items for electrical appliance quality inspection, are required to be tested by the national standard to ensure consumer safety.  

 

Difference 2: The test purpose is different

The withstand voltage test is to check whether the product can withstand a certain strength of overvoltage, if the product can pass the withstand voltage test, it indicates that product has a strong ability to withstand voltage fluctuations during use, and it is not easy to cause problems such as self-damage. The leakage current test is to check if the current passing through the insulating part of the product (under normal working conditions) is lower than the safe current that human body can bear, if the product is qualified, it indicates that the product will not cause electrical damage to the human body during normal use.

The relationship between standards IEC62262 and IEC60068-2-75

  The IK code is a coding system to indicate the degree of protection provided by an enclosure against harmful external mechanical impacts. The standard IEC62262 defines the impact energy corresponding to different IK codes. In general, the degree of protection applies to the complete enclosure. If parts of the enclosure have differing degrees of protection, the latter shall be indicated separately. IK00 IK01 IK02 IK03 IK04 IK05 IK06 IK07 IK08 IK09 IK10 IK11 0 0.14J 0.2J 0.35J 0.5J 0.7J 1J 2J 5J 10J 20J 50J IK00 - no protection IK01 - withstands 0.14J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 56mm on the surface) IK02 - Withstand 0.2J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 80mm on the surface) IK03 - Withstand 0.35J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.2KG falling from a height of 140mm on the surface) IK04 - Withstand 0.5J impact force (equivalent to t...
