Ledningsström
Ledningsström, also known as leakage current, is an unintended flow of electrical current through a normally insulating material or component. This phenomenon can occur in a variety of electrical and electronic devices and systems. The primary cause of ledningsström is the imperfection of insulating materials, which are never perfectly non-conductive. Over time, these materials can degrade due to factors like moisture, temperature fluctuations, contamination, or physical damage, leading to a reduction in their resistance.
Common sources of ledningsström include the insulation of wires and cables, the dielectric layers in capacitors,
The magnitude of ledningsström is typically very small, often measured in microamperes or milliamperes, but it
