Abstract: A leak current breaker is provided which includes a detector (10) to detect a leakage current from electric lines, a first removing unit (12) to convert the detected leakage current into a voltage and a voltage detector (14) to detect a voltage developed in electric lines A under testing, a second removing unit (16) to remove a harmonic component included in the voltage, a phase contrast detector (20) to detect a phase contrast from a signal waveform having the harmonic component removed, a frequency calculator (21) to calculate a frequency occurring on electric lines A on the basis of the signal waveform of the voltage having the harmonic component removed by the second removing unit (16), a phase angle calculator (22) to calculate a phase angle of the leakage current flowing through the electric lines A on the basis of the phase contrast and frequency, a root-mean-square value calculator (24) to calculate a root-mean-square value of the voltage having the harmonic component removed by the first removing uni

Abstract: The periphery of a load circuit (6) is covered with a conductive material (7) which is electrically connected with a grounding line (N) of an electric line (3) to be measured. A leak current detecting system is provided with a connection judging apparatus (5) for judging whether a plug (1) formed on one end side of the electric line (3) is correctly connected to a receptacle, and a leak current detecting apparatus (4) for detecting a leak current (Igr) flowing in the electric line (3) due to insulation resistance to ground.
