Leakage Current from Appliances

Leakage current from portable appliances has been limited to 0.5 mA American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Committee C101.1. Typical leakage currents are presented, and the effects of temperature, humidity, grounding, bonding, and circuit conditions on the measured values are discussed. Information on the measurement instrument, its frequency response, input impedance, and sensing characteristics is given.
