Brian, Depending on the class of that circuit breaker, the answer is probably yes. See this article <https://code-authorities.ul.com/about/blog/understanding-ground-fault-and-leakage-current-protection/#:~:text=It%20states%20that%20a%20Class,Ground%2D%20Fault%20Circuit%2DInterrupters.>
Sometimes when dealing with high leakage current the relevant safety standard allows you to go to a much higher level if you provide secondary chassis grounding (earthing) and a warning label. Of course, this all depends on how the product is configured. Check for this provision in the safety standard you are using. This may be a case where your rack system has multiple devices, each with their own EMI line filter. And the "Y" caps in all the line filters add up to a larger contribution of leakage current. One option might be to remove the individual filters (if possible) and provide a single low-leakage EMI filter on the rack power inlet. Alternatively you could entertain the idea often used on equipment that requires very low leakage current in the 50 uA range. That is, an approved isolation transformer built into the rack power distribution. -Doug Douglas E Powell Laporte, Colorado USA LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/coloradocomplianceguy/> (UTC -06:00) Mountain Time (US-MDT) On Wed, Aug 24, 2022 at 2:27 PM Brian Kunde <bkundew...@gmail.com> wrote: > If I have a rake of electrical equipment with a single power cord and a > combined touch current exceeding 6mA, and I plug the rake into a circuit > with a GFCI, will it trip? > > Thanks. > > The Other Brian > - > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc > discussion list.
