Hi Mark, I’ve seen mains filters used for 400 V 3 ph. 200A services with leakage currents close to 30 mA. Consider that RCBOs commonly used outside North America have a design trip current of 30 mA, so leakage currents above 30 mA will cause the RCBO to trip. None the less, these large leakage currents can be startling the first time you see them “in the wild”.
