What is the danger
Residual current devices, which serve as protection against electric shock, are used to cut off the electric current in case of improper functioning of electric installation. These RCDs pose a serious risk of electric shock because they do not work when the product is faulty (it shows a significant divergence from the parameters, which are placed as patterns on the product). They can be used by consumers because they are installed in houses and users have access to them.
