not intended to flow on a powered circuit that flows to ground, or those conductive parts accessible to a user (e.g., a product chassis or case). Even when well insulated, some current can leak through in small quantities as a result of the imperfection of insulating materials, moisture, or the capacitive interaction. Although these currents most frequently are minuscule, they may create a risk of electric shock&#8211;particularly when they pass through medical equipment, water-wet conditions, or objects with open or exposed metal contacts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Purpose_of_a_Leakage_Test\"><\/span><b>What is the Purpose of a Leakage Test?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A leakage test is mainly performed to prevent electrical shock to the user and safety of the product.
