Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / operator's manual for an industrial hoover

German term or phrase: Erdungsprüfstromkreis
Speaking of a "Fehlerstromschutzschalter", which I've translated as 'residual current circuit breaker', the passage continues:

Dieser unterbricht die Stromversorgung entweder wenn der Ableitstrom gegen Erde 30 mA für 30 ms überschreitet, oder er enthält einen Erdungsprüfstromkreis.

I'm grateful for any suggestions.
