There is no such thing.

What there is is leakage current, which is the amount of undesired current flow in a branch of an actual circuit when that branch of the equivalent ideal circuit would have no current flow.

Leakage current can also be used to refer to current that occurs on a path where there is no intentional circuit branch (e.g. corona discharge current to the air in a high voltage system).

What is leakage resistance?

leakage resistance of a resister is type of fault which occurs at a specific voltage across the resister which are undertesting.


What is leakage current in transformer?

In low voltage and electronics Leakage Current is any current that flows when the ideal current


Why do you have variation in leakage reactance of induction motor?

leakage reactance in induction motor depends on the reluctance of the path in which the leakage flux is establishing. with the increase in stator current the leakage flux also increases but it cannot maintain linear relationship because of saturation of the leakage flux path, even though current is increasing the flux will not increase and it'll be constant after saturation. this leakage flux links with the stator winding and induces emf which will be opposite to the supply voltage causes drop in applied voltage , the drop in the applied voltage is represented with the leakage reactance. as flux is responsible for the induction of emf , the increase in current does not increase flux after saturation and therefore emf also doesnot increase so the leakage reactance is not constant throughout the machine operation...


Voltage of a diode at which current increases?

In a Silcon diode no current flows in the forward direction (anode to positive voltage) until approximately 0.6 - 0.7Volts is reached. Above this voltage the current rises in line with Ohms Law. In the reverse direction only micro Amps flow (leakage current) In a Germanium diode the threshold is about 0.2 volts and reverse leakage is higher.


Draw and explain the operation of fault voltage ELCB and residual current device?

ELCB means Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker -- it is used to trip the Circuit breaker if any leakage fault occured means
