Our isolators have no capacitor. If you find you need one, we sell a
Galvanic Capacitor that is rated for 5 amps AC continuous that you
connect in parallel with the isolator. This would permit up to 5 amps
ground leakage before it compromises the galvanic isolator efficiency.

With 5 amps of leakage current, there is a serious problem that ought
to be fixed aside from any compromising effect on galvanic isolation.
Sounds like an electrocution waiting to happen. All it takes is a
corroded (or non-existing) grounding connection to the cabinet of a
refrigerator.

However, a functioning GFCI will trip immediately with 5 amps of
leakage through the green grounding conductor. Most will trip with a
thousandth of that current (5-6 mA).
