WHAT IS LEAKAGE CURRENT?Leakage current is the current that flows through the protective ground conductor to ground. In the absence of a grounding connection, it is the current that could flow from any conductive part or the surface of non-conductive parts to ground if a conductive path was available (such as a human body). There are always extraneous currents flowing in the safety ground conductor.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?Electrical equipment commonly includes a grounding system to provide protec...
