by -RCD and trip the circuit within
30Miliseconed.
If a house has an earth system connected to
an earth rod and not the main incoming
cable, then it must have all circuits protected
by an RCD
RCDs are an extremely effective form of
shock protection.
The most widely used are 30 mA (milliamp)
and 100 mA devices.
RCD
RCD will not protect against a socket outlet being wired
with its live and neutral terminals.
RCD will not protect against the overheating
RCD will not protect against live-neutral shocks
