To whom may know the current standards, if I have a element that is connected to the body of a machine, do I need an rcd in line.
As the elements give a slight leakage and trip my test rcd.
Do all heating elements have leakage?
 
it is not unusual for older style heating elemants to have some leakage to ground,
How ever not all of them leak and the newer styles tend not to leak as much.
In Australia leakage to ground can go as low as 100k ohm before it is considered unsafe.
If it does leak ? just replace it with a new one, you should be good then.
if you have an RCD then you have no choice, you have to replace it.
