8、ccordance with 83.1.7.RATIONALE FOR DECISION:This revision is to require the Leakage Current Test only for cord-connected products.Fixed equipment is permanently and solidly grounded providing a reliable path for fault current.Cord-connected equipment relies on the mating of an attachment plug and r

The leakage test is only intended to insure that the mating of an attachment plug andreceptacle provides a reliable ground connection; therefore, t
