Dear colleagues-

I'm trying to get up to speed quickly with 61010-1, & need some help 
interpreting the leakage current limits of IEC 61010-1 and when to apply them.

What is the maximum allowable leakage current per UL-61010-1 for U.S. and 
Canada?  (the available Digital View UL-61010-1 shows only the North American 
National Differences with no mention of leakage current.)

Referring to IEC 61010-1 Clauses 6.3.1 & 6.3.2, how should one differentiate 
when leakage current is sine (mostly) and when "mixed frequency"?  What if 
there is also a significant d.c. component present?  (O'scope jacked in to 
Simpson leakage tester a la Pete Perkins, okay, I understand the importance!)  
This seems wide open to interpretation, with risk of third party inspector 
seeing things "differently."

The product is an outdoor optical imaging system for remote inspection of 
manholes and other infrastructure below street level (wet environment).  Mains 
power (120V/60Hz) is taken from either onboard, truck mounted generator or 
shore power connected to the truck.  A pair of 60950 approved PSU reside on the 
front end, with secondary side outputs of 48VDC and lower voltages.

Thank you kindly,
Chet Summers
