I have just taken a look at the user manual for the Fluke ESA-615. It looks like a nice piece of kit.

However ... although the manual shows some nice clear diagrams, they do not all correspond directly to those we have been discussing. Indeed, the manual does not seem to care much about Class II specifically, at all.

All the diagrams show a Conductive Part at the enclosure casing of the DUT, and I note (and endorse) the terminology used:- "non-earthed accessible conductive point(s)". But, as we know, such are often (usually) not found on Class II (that is, double-insulated) equipment.

I also note that some of the tests described in the manual apply only to 60601 (and not 62353) whilst others apply only to 62353 etc.

By the way, do you use any of the Test Sequences?

PS: the only EST manual I have come across that mentions "foil" is that for the Rigel 288.


If you don't inspect ... don't expect.
