    Is there a potential earth leakage or is it something else?

    I'm facing an electrical issue in my house since last Christmas. When the lights or appliance with motor in any room are turned off/on the TV would go out and come back on in a short span (as if the power went out and came back in a second).

    Computer earth leakage value (mA)

    I know every computer/equipment type will have a slighty different earth leakage stated by the manufacturer, however I was wondering what people use as a "rule of thumb" value when designing ring final circuits in offices intended to be used for computers.

    Find electrician to trace earth leakage

    OK, so this is a follow-on to my thread about unsatisfactory EICR. There is a big inconsistency in that the EICR reports all the L-E IR as >100 Megs, but the inspector also comments about earth leakage in two ring mans and one lighting circuit. This seems to be stopping me from replacing the...
