I have an two inline (EMI) filters. One with the rating (as given in datasheet):
LEAKAGE CURRENT: EACH LINE TO GROUND
A. @ 115 VAC 60Hz……………………….0.20 mA MAX
B. @ 250 VAC 50Hz………………………..0.40 mA MAX
And another one with the following details:
LEAK CURRENT
0.8mA MAX 250V,50HZ
Are they same when it comes to leakage current as a parameter ? What I am understanding here is that since in first one EACH LINE TO GROUND LEAKAGE CURRENT IS 0.4 mA it will sum up to 0.8mA for both.
I am an Electronics person and Electrical bounces a little above my head. Kindly help.
