Hi Ron:


According to the OSM/EE list of decisions dated
9/99...

    Varistors between the mains and the protective
    earth cannot be accepted by the following 
    countries:

    Pluggable equipment, Type A:  Austria, Belgium,
    Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom.

    Permanently connected equipment connected to 
    Protective Earth:  All countries.

There is no specific mention of concern for possible
increase in leakage current.

I'll send the OSM paper in a separate message.


Best regards,
Rich
