Residual operating current of the secondary distribution box
A small leakage current, such as through a person, can be a very serious fault, but does not increase the total current enough for a fuse or overload circuit breaker to isolate the circuit. OverviewA residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of, that interrupts an. In their first implementation in the 1950s, power companies used them to prevent electricity theft where consumers grounded returning circuits rath.
