Ground / earth protection will not impact cable sizing.
Earth leakage current or ground leakage current is current going where it is not supposed to be going (whether it is on a laptop or not). Power line current should only flow between hot and neutral. The earth or ground line is only there for safety purposes to keep the metal chassis at 0V at all times.
A CT is used to measure current, and is NOT referenced to ground, and has very low primary impedance. A PT is used to measure voltage, is referenced to ground, and has a much higher impedance (since it is referenced to ground).
zero insulation leakage is known as a ground fault AC, DC, single phase, 3 phase .... same answer on a damp day or with water present it may be a bit higher than zero there is no perfect insulation if you have more than a milliamp you have problems
An earth leakage relay is an electronic or electromechanical device that detects the current flowing to earth (Americans call this ground). If this earth leakage current is above a preset level (and carries on for a preset time) the relay is "tripped" - this may switch on an alarm signal - or more usually it simply disconnects the supply. Currents may flow to earth due to a fault condition or because of lots of individual items connected to the supply have a small "leakage" to earth.
How do you use a mobile CB antenna for base station antenna?
A ground leakage can damage electrical appliances. When there is a current leakage, it causes the appliance to draw more current through thecircuit, hence produces excess heat. This can damage the appliances.
Yes. It is measuring leakage current to ground.
Grounding is accomplished by connecting a heavy cable from the ground side of the antenna to a ground rod. A ground rod is typically a 4 - 8 foot copper plated steel rod driven into the ground as close as possible to the antenna, making the wire connection as short as possible. All equipment should also be grounded to a rod, not just the antenna.
The radio is grounding through the antenna connection. Unplug the antenna and see that it will stop. However you still need to hook up the ground 1st and the antenna last.
A better simple approximation would be two antennas separated by twice the distance of the single antenna to the ground.
A leakage current to ground indicates that the ground is not truly an earth ground. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is designed to detect such leakage current and cut off the device from its supply voltage.
It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded. It is not grounded thru the antenna. Just run a ground wire from the radio chassis to any ground location.It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded.

no it will mess up the reception
As i know,neutral is the return path of current & ground is for any leakage current
no. first check fuses. check ground. check for voltage to memory, and switched power to radio. the only time the antenna would affect the radio in that manner is if the ground was connected to the antenna.
Monopole is an antenna with just the radiating element where the ground of the transmitter is connected to an electrical ground which serves as an Image ground to the radiating element. Thus the name "mono" pole. Dipole is where the ground and the radiating elements are connected to two different elements where one is the radiating element and the other is the ground to the later. Thus the name "Di" Pole Cheers by zafran khan
