RE:     Copy of: reduction of leakage current

Hi Moshe.

You asked:

<Assuming the power supplies and line filter I'm using cannot be changed,
and I have to reduce the input leakage current to ground, what are my
options? (if any)>

A simple, but expensive and bulky, method is to simply fit a good isolation
transformer to the input, (I assume you are describing mains powered
equipment).

Another advantage of that is that conducted emissions are often reduced and
can allow you to use a smaller filter, or even remove it altogether!

Otherwise, as the only components you have connected to your mains input
can't be changed, your choices seem to be, in a word, almost zero! (Sorry,
two words.)

Hope that helps a bit.
