  • an undesirable small stray current which flows through or across an insulation between two or more electrodes, or across a back-biased junction
lekkevool
leakage current
Usage examples
  • Hazards arising from stray electric and leakage currents Stray electric and leakage currents in conductive equipment parts which could result in, for example, the occurrence of dangerous corrosion, overheating of surfaces or sparks capable of provoking an ignition must be prevented.

  • vool, mis tekib elektrisüsteemide tavalistes ja üksikrikke tingimustes
  • flow of current that occurs in normal and single fault conditions in electrical systems
  • electric current in an unwanted conductive path to earth under normal operating conditions
  • current driven by active conductors of a distribution system and/or loads to earth and/or protective conductors
lekkevool
Usage examples
  • Elektroonikas on lekkevool elektrienergia järkjärguline ülekandumine üle piiri, mida tavaliselt peetakse isoleerivaks, nt laetud kondensaatori spontaanne tühjenemine, trafo magnetiline sidumine teiste komponentidega või vool üle transistori väljalülitatud olekus või pöördpolariseeritud dioodi.
leakage current
Usage examples
  • Leakage current refers to any unwanted current that flows outside of the desired circuit path, adding to the noise of a measurement.
