    extension leads - earth leakage

    Hi all, I can't understand why but I always get a small (minimum 0.06mA) earth leakage reading on extension leads (even without surge protection). Is this normal? If it is, please could someone explain how earth leakage occurs on a simple extension lead? Thanks
