Hi Brian:
“Touch current” is current through the body when it touches two conductors. By
convention, touch current is measured through a 2,000-ohm resistor in series
with the PE conductor. Touch current only exists if two conductors are
touched, for example, when the PE is open. If

W.r.t. Doug’s comments, & FWIW, here are a few of my experiences & suggestions:
1. Many years ago I had a customer complain that a model of monitor that
HP supplied to the UK exceeded the 0.75mA limit. After a lot of investigation
(including building a small measuring set

app engineer and ask your question directly.

If your equipment exceeds touch current limits by summation, and if you think
your equipment is going to be located in areas where the National Electrical
Code or Canadian Electrical Code, Part I mandate the installation of
GFCI-protected branch circuits, then you would certainly need to

If I have EE or a rake of equipment or several pieces of equipment plugged
into a power strip that has a combined touch current that trips a GFCI,
what can be done about that? Will an isolation transformer solve the
problem?
Thanks,

When I run the Touch Current test and the EUT is not isolated from PE when
I press the Test Button that opens the PE conductor, the meter on the test
will max out. Sometimes it will even blow the fuse. What is happening at
that point? Am I reading the Touch Current from every piece of equipment
