leakagevirtoihin
Leakagevirtoihin is a Finnish term used in electrical engineering to describe leakage currents—unwanted currents that escape from a conductor or system through insulation or across surfaces, rather than delivering power to a load. In practice, leakage currents occur in both AC and DC equipment and are typically small, often ranging from microamperes to milliamps, depending on voltage, humidity, surface contamination, and insulation quality.
Causes and forms include dielectric leakage through insulation, surface leakage across damp or contaminated surfaces, aging
Measurement and standards: Leakage current is assessed during safety testing and design reviews. Methods include insulation
Impact and mitigation: Excessive leakage can pose electric shock risks, interfere with sensitive electronics, or cause
Term usage: In Finnish technical literature, leakagevirtoihin is used to discuss leakage currents and their implications
