Emmanuel:
Current leakage can due to be moisture, specially during monsoon, check whether it is leakage current or there is a short in the selenoid coil,
if it is leakage current then dry the coil completed either in the sun or by an hot hair dryer, if it is short then it need to be replaced. |

| You need to use earthing for the solenoid. Once you open the solenoid, you can see three terminals. |

| yes there is earthing point but I never been using that line in my other coils and I had never had currents leakages even after soap tests |
