What a peculiar version of the english language you speak...

Lets say we have an SMPS, and due to a fault in the main 400V reservoir
on the mains side, it starts leaking several amps ...

Well, it is faulty, but in the jargon, that is not a fault current.

So, you're agreed. The jargon = a peculiar version of English.
