läckimpedans

Läckimpedans is a concept primarily used in electrical engineering and physics, referring to the impedance of a path through which unwanted current can flow, often to ground. It is the opposition to the flow of leakage current in an electrical system. A high läckimpedans indicates that very little current is able to leak away, which is generally desirable for safety and efficiency. Conversely, a low läckimpedans suggests a significant leakage current, which can be a sign of insulation failure, faulty wiring, or other electrical problems.

The läckimpedans is a crucial parameter in the design and testing of electrical equipment, particularly in ensuring electrical safety. It is often measured in ohms (Ω). A low läckimpedans can lead to increased power loss, potential fire hazards, and electrical shock risks. Therefore, maintaining a sufficiently high läckimpedans is a key consideration in insulation design and regular maintenance of electrical systems. Specifications for minimum läckimpedans are often included in relevant safety standards and regulations for various types of electrical apparatus.
