Symptom
MDC Ground Current is high with MR System powered off. One of the biggest problems with MR systems has been excessive ground current with the system powered off. Excessive ground current is usually anything over 50 mA. Please remember that this current is on the ground wire from the PDU to the MDC with ALL the breakers OFF in the MDC. It is not uncommon to find this ground current to be as high as 1.5 AMPS.
