  2. Earth-leakage circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-leakage_circuit_breaker

    An earth-leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) is a safety device used in electrical installations to prevent shock.It consists of either a current sensing mechanism, or a voltage sensing mechanism.

  3. Residual-current device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

    A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of Earth-leakage circuit breaker, that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through line and neutral conductors of a circuit is not equal (the term residual relating to the imbalance), therefore ...

  4. Electrical safety testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_safety_testing

    Leakage current requirements. The maximum allowable patient leakage current is 500μA AC and 50μA DC in normal operation (normal condition, NC) and 1000μA AC or 100μA DC in single failure condition (SFC). [8] Requirements for the input stage. Temperature measurement and requirements.

  5. Ground and neutral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_and_neutral

    Normal circuit currents flow only in the neutral, and the protective earth conductor bonds all equipment cases to earth to intercept any leakage current due to insulation failure. The neutral conductor is connected to earth at the building point of supply, but no common path to ground exists for circuit current and the protective conductor.

  6. Earthing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system

    Since the earth leakage is restricted, leakage protection devices can be set to less than 750 mA. By comparison, in a solidly earthed system, earth fault current can be as much as the available short-circuit current. The neutral earthing resistor is monitored to detect an interrupted ground connection and to shut off power if a fault is detected.

  7. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(electricity)

    The power loss per square meter in the ground is proportional to the square of the transmitter current density flowing in the earth. The current density, and power dissipated, increases the closer one gets to the ground terminal at the base of the antenna, [14] so the radial ground system can be thought of as providing a higher conductivity ...

  8. Ground loop (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(electricity)

    The ground potential at different outlets may differ by as much as 10 to 20 volts [4] due to voltage drops from these currents. The diagram shows leakage current from an appliance such as an electric motor A flowing through the building's ground system G to the neutral wire at the utility ground bonding point at the service panel.

  9. Stray voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stray_voltage

    This rail is in contact with the earth at many places throughout its length. Since current will follow every parallel path between source and load, some part of the traction current will also flow through the earth. This is normally referred to as leakage current or stray current.
