Greetings all what are your local rules on earth leakage protection AKA ground fault protection now in 2024?
I know some of the rules have been updated and 30ma Residual Current Devices (RCD) seem to be the norm.
Are there ever lower requirements like 5ma, 10ma or 20ma?
I have herd Australia and New Zealand use slightly different standards for them.
Cheers

GFCI at 5ma is pretty much the standard here for personal safety.
You get 30ma protection in an AFCI and we get them most places that don't require GFCI
