RCBO WITH FUNCTIONAL EARTH LEAD CAUSING SMALL EARTH LEAKAGE

ietmgreen
I have read somewhere, (but I can't locate the source), that because the RCBO's electronic control operates with the neutral at a very slightly higher potential than earth, there is a very small leakage to earth through the functional earth lead.

Is this correct?

If so, what is the amount of leakage?

Regards,

Mike.

    Watch out for any loose RCBO flying earth leads, they have enough voltage on them to make you pay attention.
