Answer / Ajay Kumar Baitha

A leakage current of 38A for an alternator with those specifications is significantly higher than the recommended limit (usually less than 50mA). This could indicate a potential safety hazard.nTo bring it within acceptable limits, it's important to inspect the equipment and its wiring thoroughly. Look for any signs of insulation damage or faulty connections that may cause increased leakage current. Addressing these issues should help reduce the leakage current.
