[QUOTE="Marvo, post: 546906, member: 20838"] Is there a particular reason you did the live leakage test? You say the leakage is roughly equal from your new installation and the original installation so it's not cause by a single culprit and depending on the circuits and equipment connected I wouldn't consider 150-170mA leakage as particularly high in the first place for a commercial/industrial supply. It's very possible the 150-170mA is functional leakage not fault current and you're chasing your tail. Maybe your UK regs have a limit to global functional leakage but where I am we wouldn't consider that a problem. [/QUOTE]
