GW Instek launches the new GLC-10000 leakage current tester
Available from APC Technology Group, GW Instek's new leakage tester is the ideal solution for medical, consumer and IT electronic systems seeking leakage compliance
GW Instek’s new leakage current tester – the GLC-10000, features 12 simulated human impedance networks that comply with related safety regulations. This enables users to conduct leakage current tests for electrical equipment under normal conditions or single fault conditions.
These 12 simulated human impedance networks are comprised of networks for medical, general electric and electronic equipment to ensure that product design and manufacture are in compliance with requirements of safety regulations including IEC, EN, UL.
Key Features
- 7’ touch panel with colour LCD
- Maximum allowable leakage current is up to 50mA
- External terminal for extension MD connection
- MD OUT terminal can be connected to an oscilloscope for comparison of measured waveforms
- Test parameter export/import function through USB host
- USB storage for measurement data/screen capture
- Various standard interfaces: RS 232C, USB host & device, LAN, signal I/O and GPIB
The GLC-10000 provides test requirements for most IT, consumer, medical and other electronic equipment in the measurement of leakage current (or touch current). Including the required measurement network, measurement bandwidth of various current forms are all in compliance with the requirements of the latest version of the applicable regulations.

The GLC-10000 is equipped with a 7 inch TFT LCD touch screen, which makes the operation more convenient and fast, and the large screen allows setting information and test results to be displayed on the LCD at the same time, improving the readability of information observation. In addition, users can select the front socket output (10A max.) or the rear terminal block output (up to 20A) to measure the leakage current according to the current consumption of the DUT.
For the rear panel configuration, GLC-10000 also provides a reserved MD external terminal block, and users can self define the required simulated impedance networks (only applicable to parallel RC combination) to measure the leakage current to meet the requirements of new MD in future regulations. The new leakage tester also provides a variety of standard interfaces, such as RS 232C, USB device, LAN and Remote I/O, and even GPIB (optional) to meet the needs of system control and data acquisition.
Various Leakage Current Mode Measurement
Leakage current tests can be separated into 3 basic types: Earth Leakage current, Enclosure Leakage current and Patient Leakage current. The GLC 10000 complies with IEC, UL and other international electrical safety standards requiring leakage current measurement.
GW Instek has a wide range of high-quality test instruments, ranging from oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, signal sources, basic test & measurement instruments to Hi-Pot testers and Leakage testers. All GW Instek products all available with excellent product support and are competitively priced to ensure solutions for all budget levels.
